In string parts, I often use more than one stave where a section is
divisi. I write, for instance,
\set Staff.shortInstrumentName = "2."
when one player (or sub-section) is required, or
\set Staff.shortInstrumentName = \markup \column { "3." "4." }
if two players need to play this line. The default settings are fine
for this.
But I have a stave now which applies to 3 players. If I put
\set Staff.shortInstrumentName = \markup \column { "2." "3." "4." }
it takes up rather too much space vertically, so I want to move the
numbers closer together. But nothing I have tried so far makes the
slightest difference. My latest version is:
\set Staff.shortInstrumentName =
\markup { \override #'(baseline-skip . 6)
\column { "2." "3." "4." } }
I felt sure that this would work, but it doesn't. ("6" is a value just
for testing - obviously the value I want actually to use will be much
smaller.)
What am I doing wrong?
