Re: smaller distance between first Staff and TimeSig

[Stefan Thomas]

Dear Neil,
I think I have solved the problem with the vertical distance, but now
the time-signatures don't disappear in the staves and I don't
understand why!

\version "2.12.0"
\paper {

  ragged-last-bottom = ##f

  page-limit-inter-system-space-factor = 1.3


  #(set-paper-size "a4" )
   system-separator-markup = \slashSeparator

}

 \layout{
  \context {
    \type "Engraver_group"
       \consists "Time_signature_engraver"
    \consists "Text_spanner_engraver"
    \consists "Text_engraver"
    \consists "Dynamic_engraver"
    \consists "Axis_group_engraver"
    \name "TimeSig"
       \override TimeSignature #'font-size = #3
    \override TimeSignature #'break-align-symbol = #'staff-bar

    \override TimeSignature #'X-offset: =
#ly:self-alignment-interface::x-aligned-on-self
    \override TimeSignature #'self-alignment-X = #CENTER
  }
  \context {
    \Score \accepts TimeSig
  }


  \context { \Staff
   \remove "Time_signature_engraver"
  }
  \context { \TimeSig \override VerticalAxisGroup
#'keep-fixed-while-stretching = ##t
   \override VerticalAxisGroup #'Y-extent = #'(-33 . 0)
 \override VerticalAxisGroup #'minimum-Y-extent = ##f
 %durch diese Einstellung wird gewährleistet, dass die Taktartkangabe
immer im gleichen Abstand über der Partitur erscheint!

  }
}
\layout {
  \context {
    \RemoveEmptyStaffContext
  }
  \context { \Staff \override VerticalAxisGroup #'remove-first = ##t }
}
