In some examples in which I have an example (especially a multi-tier one) made in an example environment with gb4e, there's a huge gap between the the \glt line and the one directly above it. This looks terrible on the page. I'm not sure why this happens.

\begin{exe} \ex  {\glll  x y z\\  \{ x-acc y-decl z-nom \\ eks why
zee\\}

\sn{\glll a b c. \\  a b c \}\\ ay bee see \\ \glt `Chickens like
catfood, in my pasta factory.' [Garbo-R124-1]} \label{pastafact}
\end{exe}

Your code is somewhat messy and some elements of it I don't understand. What is the purpose of the initial and final curly brackets, and what is the purpose of the printed curly brackets \{ and \}?

At any rate, I don't see any "huge gap". I think it looks entirely appropriate - and not terrible at all. Do you not get what I get?

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{gb4e}
\begin{document}
    \begin{exe}
        \ex
            \glll x y z\\
            x-acc y-decl z-nom\\
            eks why zee\\
        \sn
            \glll a b c\\
            a b c\\
            ay bee see\\
        \glt `Chickens like catfood, in my pasta factory.' [Garbo-R124-1]
    \end{exe}
\end{document}

  • Sure, on its own it looks great. But depending on where it comes out in the page, sometimes that spacing very bad. – Teusz May 03 '14 at 12:05
  • @mateuz Then please post a MWE that illustrates your problem. – Sverre May 03 '14 at 12:06
  • It's a ginormous document -- but it happens whenever the example is somewhere in the middle (i.e. not the top or bottom) of the page. – Teusz May 03 '14 at 12:25
  • The M in MWE stands for minimal, so please post a minimal example that illustrates your problem. I see in your history that you have been asked repeatedly to produce such examples, but you never do. You're unlikely to receive much help here if you're reluctant to provide us with MWEs. – Sverre May 03 '14 at 12:37
  • Like I said, I'm working on a manuscript that's like 300 pages long. I could provide a screen shot, but I'm not sure that'd help anyone... – Teusz May 03 '14 at 13:30
  • No, you're not asked to produce your full original document. You're asked to produce a minimal working example that will illustrate your problem.
