Subject: The space between "\score"s
Hi!

I've been trying to set my parts up so that the Coda is separated from the main score at the bottom by having separate \score commands like this:

\score
{

        \new StaffGroup
        <<
                \new ChordNames
                {
                        \set chordChanges = ##t
                        \chordSymbols
                }
                \new Staff = "" \violinNotes
        >>

        \layout { }
}

% CODA
\score
{
        \new StaffGroup
        <<
                \new ChordNames
                {
                        \set chordChanges = ##t
                        \codaChords
                }
                \new Staff = "" \violinCoda
        >>

        \layout
        {
                indent = 21
        }
}


And it works ok - but there's a giant gap between the scores. How do I change that?

Well, that doesn't work--some of the variables are not defined.

I tried adding some to see what this looks like.

At least with the minimal content, the space between the scores seems to be similar to the space between staves within the first score.   I'm not seeing the gap.

But in general, in between scores there is room for header info.  You can try to minimize this by making sure the coda "score" has nothing in the header to display.

\version "2.19.15"

violinNotes = \relative c'' { f1 \break f \break f \break f }
violinCoda = \relative c'' { e1 }
chordSymbols = \chordmode {
  \set chordChanges = ##t
  g1:7
}
codaChords = \chordmode {
  \set chordChanges = ##t
  c1:7
}
 
\score {
    \new StaffGroup <<
        \new ChordNames { \chordSymbols }
        \new Staff = "" \violinNotes
    >>
    \layout { }
}

% CODA
\score {
    \header {
        title=""
        subtitle=""
        piece=""
        dedication = ""
        subsubtitle = ""
        opus = ""
        poet = ""
    }
    \new StaffGroup <<
        \new ChordNames { \codaChords }
        \new Staff = "" \violinCoda
    >>
    \layout {}
}
