Interesting. I don't quite see why you would want that - i'd have to see a picture. Anyway, i'm pretty sure that such a feat can be achieved with a scheme function, but i have little expertise writing them. Maybe some of the Schemers on the list will help you. > I'm willing to settle for the left edge, if the right edge is too > cumbersome to do.

My concern with fractional right > justification is that if it is proportional (setting the alignment to #0.5 > justifies halfway between center and right, relative to the width of the > syllable), I'll still end up with a ragged line. Hopefully in a future LilyPond version it will be possible to specify an additional offset to alignment, so that you could right-align and then move the syllables some fixed amount to the right. I'm currently working on this part of LilyPond, but i have no idea when my work will be included in the main codebase. best, Janek _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
