Hello Abraham, Simon, Thanks for your solutions and quick replies :)
I decided to try to implement Simon's third solution, as it explicitly keeps the melody of the stanzas together with their texts. Ingenious - hadn't thought about a solution like that. I have two question about it though: 1. If I use \addlyrics instead of \new Lyrics for the stanzas, an ambitus will be rendered for the stanza and the refrain *separately* (a layout block activating the ambitus, must of course be added). If I use \new Lyrics, as in your solution, only one ambitus for the entire song is rendered (expected behaviour). Why is this so? 2. If the stanza melody begins with a rest, the text gets aligned under the rest. Why? Many thanks, Marten _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
