Here we go:

Nice Paul !

And here's a complement to get rid of the gap between startStaff and stopStaff :

\version "2.18.2"

{
  g d c d
  c d
  \once\hide Staff.BarLine \bar "|"
  \stopStaff
  \startStaff
  \override Staff.LedgerLineSpanner.length-fraction = #0.1
  \override Staff.LedgerLineSpanner.minimum-length-fraction = #0.1
  g d
  c d c d
  c d
  \once\hide Staff.BarLine \bar "|"
  \stopStaff
  \startStaff
  \override Staff.LedgerLineSpanner.length-fraction = #1
  \override Staff.LedgerLineSpanner.minimum-length-fraction = #1
  g d
  c d c d
}

Would you mind if I put it in the LSR ?

Cheers,

Pierre

How about tucking the overrides into variables, so they could be put into an \include library?

\version "2.18.2"

sledger = { % shorten ledger lines

\once\hide Staff.BarLine \bar "|"

\stopStaff

\startStaff

\override Staff.LedgerLineSpanner.length-fraction = #0.1

\override Staff.LedgerLineSpanner.minimum-length-fraction = #0.1

}

lledger = { % lengthen ledger lines

\once\hide Staff.BarLine \bar "|"

\stopStaff

\startStaff

\override Staff.LedgerLineSpanner.length-fraction = #1

\override Staff.LedgerLineSpanner.minimum-length-fraction = #1

}

\score {

\relative c' {

g d c d

c d

\sledger

g d

c d c d

c d

\lledger

g d

c d c d

}

\layout {}

}

Cheers,
Colin
