I'm in the process of upgrading LP code from version 2.2.0 to 2.18.
In the following section:
%%%- start snip
\layout{
\context {
\PianoStaff
\accepts Dynamics
\override VerticalAlignment.forced-distance = #6
}
}
%%%- end snip
Not being familiar with such early LP version, I'm assuming the original typesetter set a fixed distance between the staves in each system throughout the piece.
Convert-ly is unable to update this forced distance override, giving this warning:
"...2.11.15, Not smart enough to convert VerticalAlignment #'forced-distance. Use the `alignment-
offsets' sub-property of NonMusicalPaperColumn #'line-break-system-details to set fixed distances between staves. 2.11.23, 2.11.35,..."
I'm not understanding how to re-create the intended forced distance between each staff with the relevant section of NR, as the examples given involve vertical positioning of each staff within a page:
Any ideas of how to set this?
