Greetings All, I have been having another puzzling alignment issue involving competing Lyrics contexts.. The result of this code is again that the part to be shouted by the chorus prints before the spoken line of the single character is finished. I believe I have correctly attempted the spacing solution given in the NR, but to no avail. I have tried other ways of manipulating the code (which I alas cannot reproduce at the moment), which results in a correct alignment between the solo character and the Chorus, but there is then an unwanted gap between the penultimate and last words of the spoken line. Is there a way to resolve this so that there is neither a gap in the spoken text nor a collision between the two lines? Ideally, I would like to accomplish this using a double-dotted half rest rather than the half and dotted quarter rsts shown below. Thank you so much for any help.
