First of all I am not an expert in using LaTeX, I just started a few months back.



I am using MiKTeX with the expex package for glossed linguistic examples.
If we take a look at a glossed example, we see a space above the fourth line which is the free translation (glft):



enter image description here



To get rid of the vertical spacing above the glft-line, the expex documentation advisies you to use the command "aboveglftskip=0pt" in the begingl column.
I used this command in my document, but it still gives me a gloss with spacing before glft.
I am using a weird template with a bunch of stuff in it, but it's likely to the beamer class.
But even if I strip my document of everything, and do a normal beamer or article class, it doesn't work:



documentclass{article}
usepackage{expex}

begin{document}

ex
begingl[everyglpreamble=it, belowglpreambleskip=0pt, aboveglftskip=0pt]
gla batis-ne //
glb feet-sc{3.sg.poss}//
glft`his/her feet'//
endgl
xe

clearpage

end{document}


According to the documentation, one can also use the command in the glft line which I tried. It didn't work as well... Am I doing something wrong? I want to get rid of the vertical spacing above the glft line! I am also using the expex package in a paper I am writing and it's working fine there.

To my eye, aboveglftskip=0pt doesn't get rid of all of the extra vertical space between the glosses and translation, even with the latest version of expex (2014/03/10 v5.0b); see below. To take care of this, I usually use a negative value of aboveglftskip (and belowglpreambleskip, which has the same problem), but this seems to me to be just a hack.



enter image description here



Produced by this code:



documentclass{article}
usepackage{expex}

begin{document}

ex
begingl[everygla=]
glpreamble XXXXXXXX (default) //
gla XXXXXXXX //
glb XXXXXXXX //
glft XXXXXXXX (default)//
endgl

begingl[everygla=, belowglpreambleskip=0pt, aboveglftskip=0pt]
glpreamble XXXXXXXX (0pt) //

endgl

  • I get better results with -6pt using FreeSerif (XeLaTeX) with parskip set to 6pt. 0.5ex seems to be not enough. I believe it's adding an extra parskip, but I haven't tracked down exactly what it's doing yet.

I filed an issue about this at the expex github repo, and the author reported a short-term work around.



TLDR: You can set parskip to 0pt in Everyex (as below) and set a few other values to 0pt.



lingset{Everyex={parskip=0pt}}


The following MWE is a complete work-around:



documentclass{article}
usepackage{expex}

setlength{parskip}{12pt}

lingset{
aboveglftskip=0pt,
belowglpreambleskip=0pt,
belowpreambleskip=0pt,
extraglskip=0pt,
Everyex={parskip=0pt},
}

begin{document}

ex
begingl[everygla={}]
glpreamble XXXXXXXX //
gla XXXXXXXX //
glb XXXXXXXX //
glft XXXXXXXX //
endgl
xe

end{document}


It seems to result in evenly spaced lines:



evenly spaced lines



Without extraglskip=0pt, it looks like this, with most extra space gone:



most extra space gone



If Everyex={parskip=0pt} is additionally removed, the following is the result, with lots of extra space (due to the 12pt parskip):



lots of extra space

    To my eye, aboveglftskip=0pt doesn't get rid of all of the extra vertical space between the glosses and translation, even with the latest version of expex (2014/03/10 v5.0b); see below. To take care of this, I usually use a negative value of aboveglftskip (and belowglpreambleskip, which has the same problem), but this seems to me to be just a hack.

    documentclass{article}
    usepackage{expex}

    begin{document}

    ex
    begingl[everygla=]
    glpreamble XXXXXXXX (default) //
    gla XXXXXXXX //
    glb XXXXXXXX //
    glft XXXXXXXX (default)//
    endgl
    xe

    ex
    begingl[everygla=, belowglpreambleskip=0pt, aboveglftskip=0pt]
    glpreamble XXXXXXXX (0pt) //
    gla XXXXXXXX //
    glb XXXXXXXX //
    glft XXXXXXXX (0pt) //
    endgl
    xe

    ex
    begingl[everygla=, belowglpreambleskip=-0.5ex, aboveglftskip=-0.5ex]
    glpreamble XXXXXXXX (-0.5ex) //

    • I get better results with -6pt using FreeSerif (XeLaTeX) with parskip set to 6pt. 0.5ex seems to be not enough. I believe it's adding an extra parskip, but I haven't tracked down exactly what it's doing yet.

    I filed an issue about this at the expex github repo, and the author reported a short-term work around.



    TLDR: You can set parskip to 0pt in Everyex (as below) and set a few other values to 0pt.



    lingset{Everyex={parskip=0pt}}


    The following MWE is a complete work-around:



    documentclass{article}
    usepackage{expex}

    setlength{parskip}{12pt}

    lingset{
    aboveglftskip=0pt,
    belowglpreambleskip=0pt,
    belowpreambleskip=0pt,
    extraglskip=0pt,
    Everyex={parskip=0pt},
    }

    begin{document}

    ex
    begingl[everygla={}]
    glpreamble XXXXXXXX //
    gla XXXXXXXX //
    glb XXXXXXXX //
    glft XXXXXXXX //
    endgl
    xe

    end{document}


    It seems to result in evenly spaced lines:



    evenly spaced lines



    Without extraglskip=0pt, it looks like this, with most extra space gone:



    most extra space gone



    If Everyex={parskip=0pt} is additionally removed, the following is the result, with lots of extra space (due to the 12pt parskip):



    lots of extra space
