Re: Adjusting distance between staves in a system

Phil B.,
A raised space didn't work.  I replaced the space with a character to see where it goes.  The raised markup heads right into the above staff without adding to the skyline or separating the staves.

Phil, I used your advice and made it to work.
I added an extra voice, a hidden note to push the staves further apart, then used \tag to suppress the hidden note from MIDI, plus added an extra \score block to generate the midi.
What an involved workaround, but I understand the special situation.

I wish a simpler command existed to attach to a note, set a direction, and request additional skyline above or below the selected note.  Something like:
c d e^\increaseSkyline{ #4 }

 

 

 

There is a much simpler solution...just add the following to a note.

 

    -\markup { \raise #10 " " }

 

 

 

Phil.
