Re: piece title

[Ed Gordijn]

Hi Harm, Bart,

The "piece" title seems by default to be aligned in height to the highest
note, which causes the piece title to collide with the clef when the music
is going into the lower regions.

So you need a bit more spacing between your title and the first system.

I think using "piece=..." is not the appropiate thing for your usecase.

Why not? I would say that you could increase the markup-system-spacing.

\version "2.18.0"

\paper {

indent = 0

scoreTitleMarkup = \markup { \bold \large \scoreTitleMarkup }

markup-system-spacing = #'((basic-distance . 10)(minimum-distance . 10)(padding . 1)(stretchability . 60))

}

\score {

\new Staff { c'1 }

\header { piece = "N°.20. with basic-distance" }

}

\score {

\new Staff { \tempo "Allegro" c''''1}

\header { piece = "N°.21. but make room when necessary" }

}

Greetings, Ed
