More bugs/problems with lyrics:
. Why can I say e.g. \property Voice.TextScript \set #'font-shape = #'italic and why can't I say \property Lyrics.LyricText \override #'alignment = #0 but have to use `Lyrics . LyricText' (note the spaces before and after the dot)? This is *very* counter-intuitive for the user. . How can I move the lyrics line nearer to the voice staff? I checked the documentation (which is, hmm, difficult to understand if someone wants to modify certain properties), but I couldn't found a hint. . Using the `alignment' property causes the following warning message: programming error: No StaffSpacing wishes found (Continuing; cross thumbs) . Playing with the `alignment' property, I expect that text is always centered below the corresponding notes for value 0. But it isn't in all cases! Why not? This looks like a bug. See attached image.
