Re: \override Staff.VerticalAxisGroup #'minimum-X-extent

Hi Thomas,

It has an effect... you just can't see it with a single Staff  
context!  =)

Try this instead:

%%%% %  BEGIN SNIPPET
\version "2.11.37"

\paper { ragged-bottom = ##t }

music = \relative c'
{
        \override Staff.VerticalAxisGroup #'minimum-Y-extent = #'( -20 . 0 )
        \repeat unfold 24 {     { c d e f } }
}

\score
{
        <<
                \new Staff \music
                \new Staff \music
        >>
}
%%%% %  END SNIPPET

Hope this helps!
Kieren.
