I'm trying to make a score with two lyrics lines and three instrument lines,
where the two lyrics lines are separated by some margin. The idea is that
the text has to be written here, hence the need for some whitespace.
I tried an example from the manual:
\overrideProperty #"Score.NonMusicalPaperColumn"
#'line-break-system-details #'((Y-offset . 0)
(alignment-offsets . (0 -30 -40)))
but that only displayes whitespace for the first line, and none for the
subsequent lines. See the attached PDF file as an example.
What do I need to do to get the whole page spaced as the first section?
The 'line-break-system-details overrides are per-system settings and
only apply when they are set at line breaks.
If you want the same 'line-break-system-details to apply to the entire
score, it is easiest to put the override in the \layout block:
\layout {
\context {
\Score
\override NonMusicalPaperColumn
#'line-break-system-details =
#'((alignment-offsets . (0 -30 -40)))
}
}
Note that I left out the Y-offset property to avoid system
overprinting. It might be easiest to modify output variables like
top-margin if you want the first system higher up on the page.
Once Chapter 4 of the Notation Reference is rewritten, these things
will be explained in greater detail.
HTH,
Patrick
