Hi all,
back to my book of etudes, I've encountered an issue with vertical spacing.
The standalone .ly file renders the score perfectly well on one page, without a pagecount setting, I even increased the system-system-spacing in the paper block, to spread it more evenly over the page.
The margins are set to 2.5
When included in the, let's call it 'master-file', the score is split over two pages, with a big amount of whitespace. The margins in the master file are even set lower, to 2.
There is a \pageBreak before the include, to be sure it starts at a new page, and there is a \pageBreak after the include, to make sure the next etude starts on the following page. Switching it to \pageTurn has no effect at all.
Like this:
\pageBreak
\tocItem
\markup {F. Carulli - \italic {Opus 333 - Etude 7}}
\include "../Carulli/Carulli - opus 333 etude
7.ly"
\pageBreak
I find a lot of explanation about within system spacing, and setting spacing in the \paper block.
In this case the vertical spacing is a system-system spacing and changing it in the \paper block has no use, because when included it is overridden by the 'master-file'.
Using a 'bookpart' is not my favorite, because it limits the use of the standalone .ly files that are to be included. I've got several other pieces and wrapping them in bookparts would create way too much whitespace for each individual piece.
Any ideas on how to control vertical spacing more accurately, more precisely, for a specific included file in a master-document?
thx,
Bart
