Re: new voice with cluster changes horizontal spacing

Hi everybody,

I want to have some clusters along with the notes in the same staff.
However, if the clusters are preceeded by a "\new Voice" command, the
horizontal spacing changes.
Does anybody know why this happens and how I can avoid it?
Removing the "\new Voice" command would help, but I need to create a
dedicated voice.

% -----------------------------------------
\new Staff {
  c'4 d' e' f' g' f' e' d'
  <<
    {c'4 d' e' f' g' f' e' d'}
    \new Voice
    \makeClusters {c'4 d' e' f' g' f' e' d'}
  >>
  c'4 d' e' f' g' f' e' d'
}
% -----------------------------------------

Thanks for any hint.
Klaus

Tbh, I've no clue why this happens.

You could correct it with:

\new Staff {
  c'4 d' e' f' g' f' e' d'
  \newSpacingSection
  %% the value 1.68 was found by try and error
  \override Score.SpacingSpanner.spacing-increment = #1.68
  <<
    {c'4 d' e' f' g' f' e' d'}
    \new Voice {
    \makeClusters {c'4 d' e' f' g' f' e' d'}
    }
  >>
  \newSpacingSection
  \revert Score.SpacingSpanner.spacing-increment
  c'4 d' e' f' g' f' e' d'
}

HTH a bit,
