Re: clef collides with rest

[Jay Anderson]

By 'better' I meant that it shows the problem more clearly. I haven't
tweaked much at all yet. This is default Lilypond and it doesn't
complain one bit about it getting too dense:

Only a few warnings about marcato marks and arpeggios. It may be
getting too dense because of the horn part. I've done this to make it
smaller:

-----
   \new Staff
   \with
  {
     fontSize = #-3
     \override StaffSymbol #'staff-space = #(magstep -3)
   }
   {\hornNotes}

Is this not good practice? Is there a way I can spread it out a bit?
I'm not quite sure how to remove a bar from the system without adding
in manual \breaks. I did this and had to take out about 5 measures
from the system to make it look nicer. Even then the bass clef is
right on top of the rest. I'll play with it a bit more when I'm done
entering the notes of the piece to make it presentable. Thanks for the
help again. (You guys are quick. I'm always surprised at how
responsive you all are.)
