Re: Spacing issue with magnifyStaff

[Torsten Hämmerle]

Hi foxfanfare,

That's exactly the reason why I never use \magnifyStaff.
Just have a look at the treble clef and time signature sticking together in
the upper stave, that's because if the lowest stave seems to govern the
overall spacing.

When needing single cue-size staves in a score (no matter where), I always
use the old-fashioned method of setting fontSize plus staff-space.
That way, the overall spacing of the score will not be corrupted - at the
expense that the cue-sized staves' spacing is too wide, but it has to "too
wide" in order to propery align with the rest of the score.

Here's your original example setting fontSize and staff-space (using
fontSize -4, the exact match of your 4/7 factor would have been
-4.844129532345624644651815903391...) :)

HTH,
Torsten
