Dear ABC notation users,
I am new to ABC notation (and to this forum). I found out about ABC by chance, while attempting to learn LilyPond. I think ABC is better for my needs!
I would like to know how it is possible to form a piano staff (sorry, I don't know the exact music terminology... I'll try to explain precisely what I want). It is a braced-connected system with a treble clef on top and a bass clef down. In ABC notation, using this command:
%%score {P1 | P2}
puts too much space between the 2 staves. I tried reducing the space with the command
%%sysstaffsep -5pt
but it does not seem to allow for negative space (at least with my program... I use ABCExplorer 1.3).
Here is an example. I would like to final C's to be exactly on the same line, ie to superpose.
X:1
T:(Title)
M:4/4
L:1/4
V:P1 clef=treble
V:P2 clef=bass t=2
%%score {P1 | P2}
%%sysstaffsep -5pt
K:C
V:P1
[c e] [g b] | C4 |
V:P2
[C, E,] [G, B,] | C4 |
Thanks a lot!
