thanks Mats, Oh my, I've been working with a defective manual all this time. Those "See also" links you referred to at the bottom of the page are not links in my manual, they are just text that says "LyricText", clicking them goes nowhere.
How can I get these links in the user manual to work? I have 2.8.0. thanks Rick These properties are ordinary layout properties, so if you for example use the \markup as a lyrics syllable, then you can do \override LyricText #'word-space = ... within the current lyrics line. You can also do the setting globally for all Lyrics contexts as described in "Changing default context settings". The property is certainly documented, both in section "Overview of markup commands" and in the program reference for LyricText and several other text related layout objects (in section "Entering Lyrics", click on "LyricText at the bottom of the page and then on "text-interface") Note that there are a large number of properties available that are never mentioned explicitly in the main text of the manual, only in the program reference. /Mats -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/setting-word-space-more-globally--t1478545.html#a4008414 Sent from the Gnu - Lilypond - User forum at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
