Thanks for all the help and advice, both to those who posted here and those who sent email direct to me.
The sample scripts were useful, and it was impressive to see how a small amount of script could produce a full score. I see that the basic spacing and layout are quite good, and it is fairly easy to obtain a good result. However, fitting a hymn with 5 verses on to a 6x9 inch page is still going to take a lot of tweaking, whether it be with Lilypond or with a visual editor like Sibelius. But I am encouraged to give Lilypond a try, and will be digging into the manual. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Need-information-about-Lyric-spacing-in-Lilypond-tp21983959p22090897.html Sent from the Gnu - Lilypond - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
