<h4 class="subsection">4.6.2 Changing spacing</h4>
<p>From the output of <code>annotate-spacing</code>, we can
see which margins we may wish to alter.
<!-- TODO add info about or pointers to margin settings -->
<p>Other than margins, there are a few other options to save space:
<ul>
<li>You may tell LilyPond to place systems as close together as
possible (to fit as many systems as possible onto a page), but
then to space those systems out so that there is no blank
space at the bottom of the page.
<pre class="example"> \paper {
between-system-padding = #0.1
between-system-space = #0.1
ragged-last-bottom = ##f
ragged-bottom = ##f
}
</pre>
<li>You may force the number of systems (i.e., if LilyPond wants
to typeset some music with 11 systems, you could force it to
use 10).
<pre class="example"> \paper {
system-count = #10
}
</pre>
<li>Avoid (or reduce) objects which increase the vertical size of
a system. For example, volta repeats (or alternate repeats)
require extra space. If these repeats are spread over two
systems, they will take up more space than one system with
the volta repeats and another system without.
<p>Another example is moving dynamics which ‘stick out’ of
a system, as in the second bar here:
<blockquote>
<pre class="verbatim">
e4 c g\f c
\override DynamicText #'extra-offset = #'( -2.2 . 2.0)
e4 c g\f c
</pre>
<p>
<a href="../a9/lily-cbf62d24.ly">
<img align="middle"
border="0" src="../a9/lily-cbf62d24.png" alt="[image of music]">
</a>
</p>
</blockquote>
<li>Alter the horizontal spacing via <code>SpacingSpanner</code>. See
<a href="Changing-horizontal-spacing.es.html#Changing-horizontal-spacing">Changing horizontal spacing</a>, for more details. Here's
an example first showing the default behavior:
<blockquote>
<pre class="verbatim">
\score {
\relative c'' {
g4 e e2 |
f4 d d2 |
c4 d e f |
g4 g g2 |
g4 e e2 |
}
}
</pre>
<p>
<a href="../a2/lily-f2060385.ly">
<img align="middle"
border="0" src="../a2/lily-f2060385.png" alt="[image of music]">
</a>
</p>
</blockquote>
<p class="noindent">and now with <code>common-shortest-duration</code> increased from the
value of <code>1/4</code> (a quarter note is the most common in this
example) to <code>1/2</code>:
<blockquote>
<pre class="verbatim">
\score {
\relative c'' {
g4 e e2 |
f4 d d2 |
c4 d e f |
g4 g g2 |
g4 e e2 |
}
\layout {
\context {
\Score
\override SpacingSpanner
#'common-shortest-duration = #(ly:make-moment 1 2)
}
}
}
</pre>
<p>
<a href="../d4/lily-159c0ef8.ly">
<img align="middle"
border="0" src="../d4/lily-159c0ef8.png" alt="[image of music]">
</a>
</p>
</blockquote>
<p class="noindent">Note that this override cannot be modified dynamically, so it must
always be placed in a <code>\context{..}</code> block so that it applies
to the whole score.
</ul>
