Re: SmallCaps Gap

[Pierre Perol-Schneider]

Hi foxfanfare,

Here's a possible workaround :

\version "2.19.81"

\header {
  title = \markup \fontsize #8 \concat \caps { "Star W" \hspace #-.8 "ars" }
  subtitle = \markup \fontsize #8 \concat \caps { "The Force A" \hspace
#-.3 "wakens" }
  subsubtitle = \markup \fontsize #8
  \concat \caps {
    "V" \hspace #-.3
    "a W" \hspace #-.3
    "a Y" \hspace #-.3 "a A"
    "w A" \hspace #-.3 "vi" }
}

\relative {
  c'1 g' \tuplet 3/2 { f4 e d } c'2~ c g
}

HTH, cheers,
Pierre
