gb4e leaves extra (unwanted) blank line space between gloss and translation. Same problem as here: Why is the gap between the translation and the last line of the gloss so wide in my interlinear gloss? but the answer there (cgloss.sty) doesn't always fix the problem. In the following code - the third \glt line has a wide space before it:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[safe]{tipa}

\usepackage{gb4e,cgloss}

\begin{document}

\begin{exe}
    \ex \gll kma t'-\textschwa{l}\v{c}qu-(\textgamma)in \\
    {\sc 1sg}  {\sc 1sg.sub-}see-{\sc 2sg.obj} \\
    \glt `I saw you.' (S1:71)

    \ex \gll q-\textschwa{l}\v{c}qu-{\textbeta}um kma\\
    {\sc 2.irr-}see-{\sc 1sg.obj} {\sc 1sg}\\
    \glt `Look (at) me.' (S1:75)

    \ex kma t-k'o{\textbeltl}-ki\v{c}en \\
    {\sc 1sg} {\sc 1sg.subj-}come-{\sc 1sg.subj} \\
    \glt `I came/arrived.' (S3:13)

\end{exe}
\end{document}

  • I took the liberty to change the deprecated \sc with \textsc and clean up the code a bit. – Sverre Jun 14 '14 at 18:21
  • @Sverre Honestly I don't think that kind of change is appropriate. Maybe a comment about such commands being deprecated, but changing the code in a question is IMO, not really a good idea. – Alan Munn Jun 14 '14 at 18:23
  • @AlanMunn Feel free to roll back my edit if I stepped out of line. My intention was to prevent comments and answers pointing out these things rather than the problem at hand. – Sverre Jun 14 '14 at 18:25

The problem is in a typo in your last example: you forgot the \gll line.

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[safe]{tipa}
\makeatletter
\def\new@fontshape{}% Needed due to changes in LaTeX kernel
\makeatother

\usepackage{gb4e,cgloss}

\begin{document}

\begin{exe}
    \ex \gll kma t'-\textschwa{l}\v{c}qu-(\textgamma)in \\
    {\sc 1sg}  {\sc 1sg.sub-}see-{\sc 2sg.obj} \\
    \glt `I saw you.' (S1:71)

    \ex \gll q-\textschwa{l}\v{c}qu-{\textbeta}um kma\\
    {\sc 2.irr-}see-{\sc 1sg.obj} {\sc 1sg}\\
    \glt `Look (at) me.' (S1:75)

    \ex \gll kma t-k'o{\textbeltl}-ki\v{c}en \\
    {\sc 1sg} {\sc 1sg.subj-}come-{\sc 1sg.subj} \\
    \glt `I came/arrived.' (S3:13)

\end{exe}
\end{document}

BTW, the two-letter font changing commands (\bf, \it, \rm, \sc, etc.) are deprecated and should really not be used. Instead, it's better to use \textbf{<foo>}, \textit, \textrm, \textsc or their switch counterparts (\bfseries, \itshape, \rmfamily, \scshape) See Will two-letter font style commands (\bf , \it , …) ever be resurrected in LaTeX?.
