I fixed some errors (- without space) in the lyrics so the notes were better spaced out, and set global-staff-size to 18, which is nicer than the default 20 for multi-staff scores. And removed the ragged-right setting. btw: using -- instead of single - in the lyrics gives nice centered hyphens between syllabes. best regards, Wilbert Berendsen -- Frescobaldi, LilyPond editor for KDE: http://www.frescobaldi.org/
