Hello: I am setting a chant using modern notation. What technique would I use to decrease the horizontal spacing in the example below? I looked in the snippets. I also trying adjusting the common shortest duration property, but to no avail. Thanks for any suggestions. Joe Srednicki \version "2.19.35" \language "english" #(set-global-staff-size 18) \header { title = "The Great Litany" % Remove default LilyPond tagline tagline = ##f } \paper { #(set-paper-size "letter") } \layout { % Do not indent the first line indent = 0.0\cm % Make the lyrics one size smaller \context { \Lyrics \override LyricText #'font-size = #-1 } % Remove time signature \context { \Staff \remove "Time_signature_engraver" } \context { \Score \override SpacingSpanner.common-shortest-duration = #(ly:make-moment 1/1) } } global = { \key c \major \time 4/4 } sopranoVoice = \relative c' { \global \cadenzaOn \hide Staff.Stem f f f f f f f f f f g \bar "" \break f f d e f \bar "" \break } verse = \lyricmode { Ho -- ly God, Cre -- a -- tor of hea -- ven and earth Have mer -- cy on us. } \score { \new Staff { \sopranoVoice } \addlyrics { \verse } \layout { } } |
