Re: Réf. : Re: Réf. : Re: figures position

[Mats Bengtsson]

The vertical extent of each Staff is determined by three different
properties, minimumVerticalExtent, extraVerticalExtent and
verticalExtent. No matter how you set the last two properties,
the size will never be below the value specified in
minimumVerticalExtent. By default, minimumVerticalExtent is the
only of this properties that is set, so if you want to reduce
the spacing, you have to reduce the setting of minimumVerticalExtent,
nothing else. Just try

  \property Staff.minimumVerticalExtent = #'(-4.0 . 0.0)
for the bass staff, instead of your current setting.

A few stylistic comments:
- Always add a line like
\version "2.0.0"
  to the top of your file. This will help you upgrade your files to
  newer versions of LilyPond. Also, it is very useful information for
  those on the mailing list who want to answer your questions.
- I recommend to introduce some identifiers for the different parts,
  see 
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.2/Documentation/user/out-www/lilypond/Organizing-larger-pieces.html#Organizing
  this helps keeping the music and the score structure separate and
  makes it easier to read and understand the file.
- I have already commented on your use of Score.timing = ##f.
