Hey, I tried for some time now to make my score as I want it, but I'm out of ideas. Issue:
http://i.imgur.com/xXJ73J3.png - you can see the straight line at the end of the first system and the next one is properly showing my extra staff. However, this straight line seems to act as if there was invisible extra staff in the first system, affecting the layout (there is a bigger visual gap), code I used for extra staff:
\paper {
system-system-spacing = #'(( basic-distance . 18))
}
extra = \relative c {
\override Staff.TimeSignature.transparent = ##t
\override Staff.KeySignature.transparent = ##t
\override Staff.Clef.transparent = ##t % to make it disappear, because up until now it's not needed
\stopStaff
\key c\minor
\clef bass
s1*12 s1 |
\override Staff.TimeSignature.transparent = ##f
\override Staff.KeySignature.transparent = ##f
\override Staff.Clef.transparent = ##f
\startStaff
s1
%then the music follows
Tried it now differently by using page-count = #3 instead of system-system spacing, but still:
