Re:Ledger line visibility issue (Peter Gentry)

[Peter Gentry]

The suggestions used verbatim did not seem to work in my file but after fiddling about a bit the following seems to do the trick. Thanks again.

 

% ----------------------------------------
% K388 Serenade Clarinet 1
% ---------------------------------------
\version "2.14.2"
 date = #(strftime "%d-%m-%Y" (localtime (current-time)))
  #(set-global-staff-size 20)
% -----------------------------------------------------------
% set the paper layout for binding
% -----------------------------------------------------------
 \paper {
         two-sided = ##t
         inner-margin = 20 \mm
         outer-margin = 10 \mm
         binding-offset = 5 \mm
         first-page-number = #1
         blank-after-score-page-force = #10
         page-breaking = #ly:page-turn-breaking  
         ragged-bottom = ##t }
.
.etc etc
.
% -----------------------------------------------------------
% define staffclarinet
% -----------------------------------------------------------
 ledgers =  \override Staff.LedgerLineSpanner #'minimum-length-fraction = #0.4
               
 staffclarinet = \new Staff {
                                      \set Staff.instrumentName = "Clt [1]"
                                      \set Staff.midiInstrument = "clarinet"                                        
                                      }

.

etc etc

.

% -----------------------------------------------------------
% First Score block - one for each movemnet
% ----------------------------------------------------------

 

\score {
 <<      

        \staffclarinet
                  \transpose bes c' 
                         \include "K388_Cc_M1_L1.ly"
                                \ledgers
  >>
 
.

etc

..
