Re: Spacing of systems while using lyluatex

[Claire Meyer]

@Gilles Sadowski :

Thanks, it works! Interestingly, though, I had to iterate down to 16, because 19, 18, 17 and 20 produce bigger outputs than default. They all produce 5 pages. And yet, 20 is the default. If anyone can explain, I'd be more than happy (I imagine it's an interaction with lyluatex).

@Brian Barker :

Thank you for your input, and for confirming what a system is (so I won't be in doubt anymore).

@David Wright :

ragged-last-bottom = ##f only works for the last system of the score, not the last system of the page, so it doesn't do what I was looking for, but thank you very much.

@Jacques Menu :

Sorry, I'm a linux user myself, so I have no idea how to make it work on mac.

Hello Claire,

Can’t help you, since I’ve never been able to use lyluatex.

Do you know of a tutorial about it’s use? I have Mac TexLive and LilyPond 2.20 installed.

Thanks!

JM
