The defaults for the new lengths are `abovelinesnabcheight`: 0.2.cm (lowered from the default `abovelinestextheight` of 0.3cm) `abovelinesnabcraise`: 0.17351 cm (same as `abovelinestextheight`) `belowlinesnabcheight`: 0.5cm (same as `translationheight`, seems maybe too...

Here's @lbssousa's example from https://github.com/gregorio-project/gregorio/issues/1559#issuecomment-2727694195 Some of the near-collisions might be avoided by improving the horizontal alignment of the GABC and NABC. Preamble: ``` \grechangedim{baselineskip}{90pt}{scalable} \gresetnabcfont[1]{grelaon}{8}% \gresetnabcfont[2]{gregall}{8}% \grechangestyle{nabc}{\color{black}} \grechangestyle{belowlinesnabc}{\color{red}} ```

The flipside of my question about the depths is, maybe above the lines we don't need both `abovelinestextraise` and `abovelinesnabcraise`. Maybe we only need `abovelinestextraise` above the lines, then (from...

> the raise would only be present if either of the heights was being used. That’s true, and I think that convinces me that both should have their own raise....

Don't the existing books put the adiastematic neumes between the staff and text? It would definitely be simpler if that was the fixed order.

Thanks @lbssousa -- do you also have a few minutes to edit your Tollite portas example (or another example)? It looks like some of the nabc neumes could be better...

> The risk, I suppose, is that the below lines NABC and really low GABC neumes might end up overlapping and there would be no way to prevent that without...

I suggest deferring `additionalbottomspacenabcthreshold` until people have a chance to work with this code and identify what is needed. (There are also a number of tangential issues that I think...

Instead of using the `/`s, can you do something like `(gabc1|nabc1|nabc1|gabc2|nabc2|nabc2)` to do the alignment?

OK, leaving aside the /'s and `'s for now, does the example look right now? Is there maybe something missing at the very end of the nabc above? Should the...
