Hello, all --
I *love* the ability to manually adjust the individual staves in any
system.
There are several ways to do it, which one do you use?
However, it can be time-consuming to set every single one, when all I
want to do is raise a single one a few pixels. For example, in a four-
voice choral piece with piano reduction, I need to manually set 9
values (four Staffs, four Lyrics, and one PianoStaff) even if I just
want to raise the bass Lyric line 0.2 spaces.
I know I could simply adjust that in the Lyrics themselves, but that
goes against my desire to separate "data" from "presentation". Is
there any way I can easily adjust a single Staff (or Lyric) context,
RELATIVE TO ITS CURRENT POSITION, particularly without adjusting any
of the others?
For Lyrics, it's probably easiest to do
\override LyricText #'extra-offset = #'(-1 . 0)
For staves, that's not really an alternative since so many
different layout objects are involved.
Otherwise, why not set VerticalAxisGroup #'minimum-Y-extent
or ... #'extra-Y-extent (or maybe that's already what you do)?
