Re: Change vertical spacing of piano system (single)

[Edward Neeman]

Hi Ben,

Are you looking for something more sophisticated the brute force approach discussed in the Lilypond manual: http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.19/Documentation/notation/explicit-staff-and-system-positioning

I don’t know a better way to reduce the amount of space between staves. There are some hacks for increasing space (e.g. placing transparent objects far enough below the staff).

Best,
Edward

\version "2.19.81"

\new PianoStaff 
\with {
 \override StaffGrouper.staff-staff-spacing.basic-distance = #20
}
<<
\new Staff = "RH" \relative c' { \repeat unfold 3 { c1 d e f } 
            \break
            \overrideProperty Score.NonMusicalPaperColumn.line-break-system-details
           #'((alignment-distances . (10)))
 \repeat unfold 7 { c1 d e f }}
\new Dynamics = "dyn" { s1\p\< s1*6 s1\f }
\new Staff = "LH" \relative c {  \repeat unfold 3 { c1 d e f }
 \repeat unfold 7 { c1 d e f } } >>

Hi all,

What is the best way to go about changing the vertical distance between piano staves (RH/LH) for only one particular system, as needed, rather than the whole instrument throughout the piece?

Here's my code so far, as an example:

\version "2.19.81"

\new PianoStaff
\with {
  \override StaffGrouper.staff-staff-spacing.basic-distance = #20
}
<<
\new Staff = "RH" \relative c' { \repeat unfold 10 { c1 d e f } }
\new Dynamics = "dyn" { s1\p\< s1*6 s1\f }
\new Staff = "LH" \relative c {  \repeat unfold 10 { c1 d e f } } >>

%%%%%%%%%

For example, how can I change the vertical distance for the second and third systems, independently and inline with the music itself? I've tried a few overrides but no luck.

Thank you!
