Re: Incorrect letter spacing in header

[Jean ABOU SAMRA]

Hi Steven,

I think LilyPond is confused because you called set-global-staff-size several times. In my eyes, as this is a global setting, it shouldn't be done more than once. Remember that a score is processed in several passes.

So you should just use layout-set-staff-size instead. See http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.19/Documentation/notation/setting-the-staff-size and your corrected code below. This produces correct output.

Regards,

Jean Abou Samra.

\version "2.21.0"

notes = \relative c' { c1 d e f g}

\header {

  title = "Adios, Au Revoir, Auf Wiedersehen"

  tagline = ""

}

\paper {

  bookTitleMarkup = \markup {

    \fill-line  {

        \abs-fontsize #20

        { \fromproperty #'header:title }

    }

  }

}

% for conductor's score

\book {

  \score {

    <<

      { \notes \notes \notes }

    >>

    \layout {

      #(layout-set-staff-size 12.5)

    }

  }

}

% for Instrumental parts

\book {

  \score {

    <<

      { \notes \notes \notes }

    >>

    \layout {

      #(layout-set-staff-size 20)

    }

  }

}

I am working on an arrangement for band, and would like the header information to be the same size on the conductor's score and the instrumental parts. I put the scores in different \book block so I could use the #(set-global-staff-size 12.5) for the conductor's score and #(set-global-staff-size 20) for the parts.

Then I tried to use    \abs-fontsize #20  for the Title in a \bookTitleMarkup block. The second book has the correct font size, but the letter spacing is wrong. If the first book has the smaller staff size, the second book title spacing is too wide. If the first book has the larger staff size, the second book title spacing is too narrow.

What is going on here? MWE code follows, images attached.
