Re: A spacing problem

[Robert Blackstone]

Hi Ben,

Thanks for your quick response.

And my apologies for my late reaction.

I would have included an MWE if I had believed that I could somehow demonstrate the problem with it, but I'm convinced that it is sort of a mass action inside my score.

I could perhaps have sent you the complete score but I don’t think that’s a good idea. To give some impression: here is a brief description:  Upper staff a vocal Voice with Lyrics, Lower staff a Bass Voice with BC-figures.  \time 4/4 with a few changes to 8/4. Somewhere  down the stretch of it I had to add for two adjacent bars a third voice in the bass line. The score has 82 bars in four sections, the first three ending with a double bar-line, the final one with the usual  \bar “|.” .

After sending my question to the list I continued my trouble-shooting and I succeeded in getting rid of 3 of my 4 problem-spots by introducing and/or some line breaks.

The remaining one has resisted my efforts till now.

Best regards,

Robert Blackstone

Dear all,

Presently I’m vainly struggling with a nasty spacing problem: an empty fragment of a new bar sticking out of the last bar of a system. 

In the piece I’ve been working on it happens 4 times. (See screenshots) 

I have carefully checked the note durations in each bar and there seems to be nothing wrong with any of them.

What can I do to avoid or remedy this?

I’ll be very grateful for any advice.

Best regards,

NB in the third screenshot with the text “ohi-me v’apri”, the  b-flat in the bass belongs to a separate voice. (<< {\stemDown as,2 des2 }  \\ {s2. \stemUp bes4  } >> |%P2V1-30}

Hi Robert,

I noticed you included some inline images in your email. Would it be possible for you to share some of your code so we can see what you have going on? Maybe a tiny example?

It's not easy to tell from just the images.

Thanks!
