Re: How to diminish the vertical space underneath a musical example

[Robert Blackstone]

Hi Harm,

Thanks for this interesting additional tool. 

For my actual problem it does not help me very much, for while it diminishes the vertical space underneath the example, it somehow widens the space above the example. (In Dutch we would call it "Wet van behoud van ellende")

But I'll play with it a but more.

Thanks again.

Best regards,

Robert

Hi Klaus,

Thanks for this tip. Indeed these are all very small score blocks and inserting them as a markup element gave the best result in the "real" file.
Concerning your second tip, inserting \markup \vspace #-1, I must confess that whatever I tried, I could not get it to do something. I really do not know where to insert it. But it does not matter at the moment.

Thanks again.

Best regards,

Robert Blackstone

What can I do to diminish the vertical space between the score and the
next text block?

if your score block is short enough to not require a page break, you can
also insert it as a markup element:

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

\markup \score {
\layout {
  indent = 7.5\cm
}
\relative c'
{
  \new Staff {
    \omit Staff.TimeSignature \clef treble \key c \major
    c d e f
  }
}
} % End score

\markup \vspace #-1 % In that case, you can even do things like this...  :-)

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%


Cheers,
Klaus

An additional thought.
To get page-breaking text and scores in markup you could use the
relevant markup-list-commands in \markuplist { ... }

\version "2.19.36"

\markuplist {
 \line {
   Some comments in the original language.
  \hspace #14
  \italic { The same translated into some other language.}
 }

 \override-lines #'(baseline-skip . 12)
 \column-lines {
   \score-lines {
     \new Staff
       \relative c' \repeat unfold 20 { c4 d e f \break }
     \layout {
       indent = 7.5\cm
       short-indent = 7.5\cm
       line-width = 110
       \context {
         \Staff
         \omit TimeSignature
       }
     }
   } % End score
 }

 \line {
   Other comments in the original language.
   \hspace #14
   \italic { The same translated into some other language. }
 }
}

Cheers,
 Harm
