Re: How can I shorten the space for a final single note

[Pierre Perol-Schneider]

Hi Robert,

I don't know your coding so it's hard to anwer.

There are several was to write your score, e.g.:

%%

\version "2.19.84"

\paper {
  ragged-right = ##f
}

\layout {
  indent = 0
}

\header {
  title = "Prattica"
  composer = "Penna"
  piece = \markup { \italic "1." "Esempio" }
}

global = {
  \override Staff.TimeSignature.stencil = #(lambda (grob)
    %(grob-interpret-markup grob #{ \markup\musicglyph #"timesig.C22" #}))
  \time 4,4,1 2/1
}

\new StaffGroup \relative <<
  \new Staff { \global f'2 g e f^~ f g e1 fis\breve*1/8 \bar "|." }
  \new Staff { \global d1 g,2 c d ees4 d2 4 cis2 d\breve*1/8 }
  \new Staff { \clef F \global d,2 bes c a bes g a1 d\breve*1/8 }
>>
 %%%%

Have you tried a barcheck?

Cheers,

Pierre

Hi Pierre,

Thanks. This does work for me but it comes at a cost: Lilypond apparently does not want to waste the space that results from shrinking the space for the breve and that results in a number of empty bars between the breve and \bar “|.”. 

 I tried to remove them by adding  \layout {\ RemoveEmptyBars} but that does nothing at all. 

The best result I got this far is by separating the two horizontally connected scores and combine them in one “piece”.

I almost get what I want but for two empty staves that I cannot hide or delete with LilyPond tools. They can probably be erased from the .pdf.

I have attached a picture of  “original” and what I have made of it in case you are curious what it is all about.

Best regards,

Robert

A workaround could be:

{

  \bar "|."
