Please let me know if this is going to be sponsored, I'd consider participating. This all has a close relation with my problem stated earlier in this list. I'd like e.g. - Tell a lyrics to offset only if it is necessary, or - Tell a lyrics to offset vertically only up to the end of the current staff, or - Declare two or more offsets, one for the current staff and others for the following ones, or - Declare an offset to be collapsable or something, or - Let all lyrics to always use the minimum required space on paper as a whole, or ... etc. Sorry I can't express it better. Of course this is not only a matter of Lilypond input syntax but surely it would require internal hacking.
I know this all is somewhat explained in the difficult tweaks section in the manual, but IMO it requires too much Scheme skills. 2007/10/17, Ted Walther <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > Rene, thank you for that example.
