Hello, This is the shortest example I can make (I've removed the part of the verse that doesn't collide with notes and left only the part that shows the issue):
altoMusic = \relative c' { r4 f2( bes4 | bes8[ a8 g8 f8] g8[ f8] ees4) | r4 f8([ ees8] d4 g4 | g8[ f8 ees8 d8] ees8[ d8] c4) | r4 d8([ c8] bes4 ees4 | c8[ d8 ees8]) d8 c4 f4 | f4 ees4 c4 f4 | f2 f2 \bar "||" } verseOne = \lyricmode { Glo -- ri -- a, ho -- san -- na in ex -- cel -- sis! } \score { << \new Staff = women << \new Voice = "altos" { \voiceTwo << \altoMusic >> } >> \new Lyrics \lyricsto altos \verseOne >> } -- View this message in context: http://lilypond.1069038.n5.nabble.com/Increasing-space-for-lyrics-for-one-part-of-a-verse-tp155892p156041.html Sent from the User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
