I recommend the IPA function *doesn’t* include the \vspace, because then you
have more flexibility with it (e.g., what happens when you just use it in a
\markup string, and not a column?!).
Here’s my attempt:
%%% SNIPPET BEGINS
\version "2.24.4"
#(define-markup-command (IPA layout props arg) (markup?)
(interpret-markup layout props
(markup #:override '(font-name . "Times New Roman,") #:fontsize 2 arg)))
text = \lyricmode {
\markup \override #'(baseline-skip . 3.1) \center-column { prayer \IPA /prɛː/
}
please
}
melody = \relative c' {
f g
}
\score {
<<
\new Voice = "one" {
\melody
}
\new Lyrics \lyricsto "one" \text
>>
}
%%% SNIPPET ENDS
Someone else might have a different/better solution…?
Hope that helps!
Kieren.
