\lyrics is the same as \new Lyrics \lyricmode ... so your own \new Lyrics is contentless. Same with \figures and \new FiguredBass \figuremode ... I find that overriding the settings (both!) in the Lyrics context works fine. Either use the \...mode constructs or use \lyrics \with { ... } ... and \figures \with { ... } ... . -- David Kastrup _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
