Re: Note spacing changes that don't register

[Jan-Peter Voigt]

Hello Felix,

try the \newSpacingSection command:

--snip--
\relative c'
{
\newSpacingSection
  \override Score.SpacingSpanner #'spacing-increment = #'1.2
  \override Score.SpacingSpanner #'common-shortest-duration =
  #(ly:make-moment 1 2)
  \clef bass
  \repeat unfold 16 { c2 c4 c8 c16 c } \break

\newSpacingSection
  \override  Score.SpacingSpanner #'spacing-increment = #'1.1
  \override  Score.SpacingSpanner #'common-shortest-duration =
  #(ly:make-moment 1 8)
  \repeat unfold 16 { c2 c4 c8 c16 c } \break

\newSpacingSection
  \override  Score.SpacingSpanner #'spacing-increment = #'1
  \override  Score.SpacingSpanner #'common-shortest-duration =
  #(ly:make-moment 1 32)
  \repeat unfold 16 { c2 c4 c8 c16 c } \break
}
--snip--

now lily spaces each section seperatly.

Cheers,
Jan-Peter
