Re: Distributing Lyrics
Dear Mats, Thank you very much! I had noticed the content of this user guide section, but without grasping that it was a solution to the issue I was trying to solve. I have just reviewed it and I'm sure it is helpful! However, I would like to share this thought with you all : this is a common problem when starting with such a new tool. You sometimes try to solve a problem as a human engraver, but is difficult to establish a link between you problem and the technical resources at hand!

For the record, here's what I had to do for the FreeBSD package (and I assume it's similar for the other *nix's). 1) Install the x11-fonts/dejavu port. This should install the fonts somewhere like /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/dejavu. 2) Open the file LILYPONDBASE/usr/etc/fonts/local.conf and add the following line just after the 'fontconfig' line.

Re: Line breaks in any place
One possibility is to use \set Timing.barAlways = ##t \set Timing.defaultBarType = See the example called bar-always.ly in the Tips and Tricks document. Of course, this means that you have to manually add the true bar lines where you want them (if you want regular time, that's easily done using \repeat unfold 20 {s1 \bar | } in parallel to the ordinary music). /Mats Joseph Haig wrote: Is it possible to allow line breaks at any point, not just at bar lines?

Re: Divisi Lyrics
You have made things unnecessarily complicated. There's no need to repeat the same music using invisible notes. Also, since you use separat Voice contexts for the colored sections, there's no need to revert the settings in the melody Voice context.

Thanks THIS IS THE FILE \version 2.11.15 \include espanol.ly fragA = {si do mi si do mi la do mi la do mi} \\ {la,,} As you are using relative pitch for the notes, each note is put in the octave closest to the previous one. This is done regardless of where the previous note occured, so it doesn't matter that it might be in a different chord. In your example, the 'si' in the second chord is put close to the 'mi' in the previous chord, which happens to be an octave below the 'si' in the first chord. To solve this, you need to explicitly put it back up an octave: fragA = {si do mi si' do mi la' do mi la' do mi} \\ {la',,} Note the inverted commas after the first note in each chord.
