Re: changing spacing between title and first system

[Jeffrey Trevino]

PPS -- alright, I've found how to manipulate the spacing as I wanted; however, it would be nice to hear a resolution to the above contradiction, if one exists. J

... curious -- there's also this, in section 4.1 (spacing issues), which seems to contradict the statement in the "known issues and warnings" section;

"Note that the \paper variables discussed in this section do not control the spacing of staves within individual systems. Within-system spacing is controlled by grob properties, with settings typically entered inside a \score or \layout block, and not inside a \paper block. See Flexible vertical spacing within systems."

Well, which is it? Is the title treated as a system, or not?

Hi there,

Could someone please show me a short, working example of an .ly that sets the spacing between the title and the first system? I was about to give it a shot myself, until I saw, under "known issues and warnings" for version 2.16,

"The titles (from the \header block) are treated as a system, so ragged-bottom and ragged-last-bottom will add space between the titles and the first system of the score. "

If this is the case, then how can I change the spacing between the title -- to Lilypond, the "first system," I guess -- and the first system of music, without disturbing the spacing between the systems of actual music? Looking at past versions' documentation, it seems like this used to be easier to do.

thank you,
Jeff
