I am creating a nomenclature and would like to reduce line spacing. If I use the approach found online inserting the \setlength{\nomitemstep}{-parsep}
command, all line skips are removed including the ones before and after the sub-section headings of the nomenclature.
Is there a way of reducing the line space only for the individual items, however not for the headers?
Attached is an example code and a snapshot of the output:
\documentclass[authoryear, preprint]{elsarticle}
\usepackage{nomencl}
\makenomenclature
\renewcommand{\nomgroup}[1]{%
\ifthenelse{\equal{#1}{A}}{\item[\textbf{Greek Symbols}]}{%
\ifthenelse{\equal{#1}{B}}{\item[\textbf{Other Variables}]}{}}}
\setlength{\nomitemsep}{-\parsep}
\RequirePackage{ifthen}
\begin{document}
This is my text document.
\nomenclature[a]{$\sigma$}{Variable explanation}
\nomenclature[a]{$\alpha$}{Variable explanation}
\nomenclature[a]{$\beta$}{Variable explanation}
\nomenclature[b]{$A$}{Variable explanation}
\nomenclature[b]{$B$}{Variable explanation}
\nomenclature[b]{$C$}{Variable explanation}
\nomenclature[b]{$D$}{Variable explanation}
\printnomenclature[0.9in]
\end{document}
Thanks a lot for any hints!

Here's a small bypass solution: Restore the
\noitemsep
value temporarily in a\nomgroup
and use the newer value afterwards.
