I'm not aware of sth like that. You could try: \version "2.12.3" \include "english.ly" %Use English notation #(set-global-staff-size 19.5) \header { title = "Gloria" } melodytwo = \relative c'' { \key g \major % fs r2 r4 g4 | a4 a2 a4 | fs2. fs4 | g4 g2 a4 | b2. r4 | r1 | r2 r4 g4 | a2 a2 | fs2. fs4 | g2 a2 | b2. r4 | r1 | r2 r4 g4 | a4 a2 a4 | fs2. fs4 | g4 g fs2 | e2. r4 | } texttwo = \lyricmode { Have mer -- cy on us, have mer -- cy on \once \override LyricText #'self-alignment-X = #-0.96 \markup { us. \hspace #3 \column { "You take away the sins " \line { "of the world," } } } re -- ceive our prayer, re -- ceive our \once \override LyricText #'self-alignment-X = #-0.8 \markup { prayer. \hspace #3 \column { "You are seated at the" \line { "right hand of the Father,"} } } have mer -- cy on us, have mer -- cy on us. } \score{ << \new Voice = "two" { \melodytwo } \new Lyrics \lyricsto "two" \texttwo >> \layout { indent = 0 \context { \Staff \remove "Time_signature_engraver" \remove "Bar_number_engraver" } } } The drawback: The markup isn't breakable. To avoid this I've chosen a smaller global-staff-size, though, this depends on your paper-size. Other possibilities are thinkable: - a second voice to associate the other lyrics. - as RehearsalMark Both will have other drawbacks and stronger ones, imho. HTH, Harm BTW, why do you use this outdated version? _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
