NR 2.1.2 "Entering lyrics: Lyrics explained"
states...
Similarly, a period which follows an alphabetic sequence is
included in the resulting string. As a consequence, spaces
must be inserted around property commands: do not write
\override Score.LyricText #'font-shape = #'italic
but instead use
\override Score . LyricText #'font-shape = #'italic
Is this true? If so, I've been doing it the wrong way all
along! This is not mentioned in 4.1.4 "Tweaking methods:
\override command" which states...
Yes, this is true, but only for overrides which are entered
*directly* in \lyricmode.
It is not necessary for other overrides or for overrides entered
as part of a variable which is then applied in \lyricmode.
The general syntax of this command is:
\override Context.LayoutObject #'layout-property = #value
This is the general syntax, but the rider above needs to be
applied when entering overrides directly in \lyricmode.
