Previous: Displaying spacing, Up: Fitting music onto fewer pages
From the output of annotate-spacing
, we can
see which margins we may wish to alter.
Other than margins, there are a few other options to save space:
\paper { between-system-padding = #0.1 between-system-space = #0.1 ragged-last-bottom = ##f ragged-bottom = ##f }
\paper { system-count = #10 }
Another example is moving dynamics which ‘stick out’ of a system, as in the second bar here:
e4 c g\f c \override DynamicText #'extra-offset = #'( -2.2 . 2.0) e4 c g\f c
SpacingSpanner
. See
Changing horizontal spacing, for more details. Here's
an example first showing the default behavior:
\score { \relative c'' { g4 e e2 | f4 d d2 | c4 d e f | g4 g g2 | g4 e e2 | } }
and now with common-shortest-duration
increased from the
value of 1/4
(a quarter note is the most common in this
example) to 1/2
:
\score { \relative c'' { g4 e e2 | f4 d d2 | c4 d e f | g4 g g2 | g4 e e2 | } \layout { \context { \Score \override SpacingSpanner #'common-shortest-duration = #(ly:make-moment 1 2) } } }
Note that this override cannot be modified dynamically, so it must
always be placed in a \context{..}
block so that it applies
to the whole score.
