Re: Lyric after staff?
A mixture would be
\score {
\new Staff <<
\new Voice = A { c' d' e' d' \bar "|." \stopStaff }
\lyrics \with { associatedVoice = "A" }
{ A-4 ve Cae- sar, \unset associatedVoice "morituri te salutant." }
>>
}
That's a good solution, albeit tricky... Thanks a lot!
The problem with \lyricsto is that it also tells LilyPond to pick off
the rhythm from the associated Voice, and then LilyPond lets the lyrics
die together with the associated Voice.
Yes, I understand this. I think I would personally prefer that the lyrics
"too much" be put after the scores (and perhaps a warning issued). After
all there is no reason to have them disappear without errors.
Many thanks again,
Gregory

Re: Positioning volta bracket
You can use extra-offset. eg: \once \override Score.VoltaBracket #'extra-offset = #'(0 . -1.5) will lower the following bracket by 1.5 staff units. Perfect, that's exactly what I needed. (And it turns out that the offset of -1.5 is also the value I need.) Thank you, Nick! Gregory ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
Re: Left align first word of lyrics
So the lyrics are supposed to be aligned as a block first which is then
centered on the note.
Exactly.
I think that the current machinery is rather working by aligning
everything independently to the note in question.
Indeed.
That would place the prealignment of the lyrics into the "seriously
tricky" realm. So it is quite possible that you'll not get any "off the
cuff" elegant solution for this.
A good solution is also constrained by the alignment only being possible
when the lyrics have been turned into stencils, and that happens
depending on the text font defaults at the time of typesetting.
A tedious solution is likely doable where you basically specify
something like
\syllable #1 { Cccc C Cc Ccc c }
in the first stanza,
\syllable #2 { Cccc C Cc Ccc c }
in the second stanza and so on: then each stanza would typeset the whole
column, align it, and pick out the right row.
That's an interesting idea. A bit tedious as you write, but better than
nothing however. Am I right that the \syllable primitive is not part of
LilyPond, and that this is just an idea of yours?
Best,
Gregory

Re: Lyric after staff?
What is the best way to put lyrics past the end of a staff, like this:
===|.
A B C D E F
The words "A B C D" are placed with \lyricsto, but how is it possible
to put words at positions "E F"? When written in the lyrics, they are
simply ignored, even if the staff is not large enough to fill the
line-width.
It's probably simplest to use Lyrics with manual durations for such
things:
<<
\new Staff { c' d' e' d' \bar "|." }
\lyrics { A-4 ve Cae- sar, "morituri te salutant." }
>>
Hmmm... Somehow this works with your simple example, but not with
slightly more complex ones:
\score {
\new Staff <<
\new Voice { c' d' e' d' \bar "|." }
\lyrics { A-4 ve Cae- sar, "morituri te salutant." }
>>
}
continues the staff after the final "|." and places "morituri te salutant"
under it. And:
\score {
\new Staff <<
\new Voice = A { c' d' e' d' \bar "|." }
\new Lyrics \lyricsto A { A-4 ve Cae- sar, "morituri te salutant." }
>>
}
simply removes the "morituri te salutant."
Maybe it would make sense if "associated" lyrics would just continue
with the normal durations when losing their associated Voice rather than
committing suicide.
Indeed.

Re: Positioning volta bracket
Is there a way to position (or to adjust the position of) the volta
brackets manually? With the following example:
\relative c'' {
\repeat volta 3 { d4 d d d }
\alternative { { c4 d e f } { e4 f g a } }
}
the volta brackets are raised, because of the final "a" note, but it
could have fit under the volta bracket at the "normal" position, since
it does not clash with the "3." indication.
I tried
\layout { \context { \Staff \override VoltaBracketSpanner #'Y-offset = #N } }
with various values for N, without success.
Using what version of LilyPond? With 2.17.12 I see something like the
following (which looks reasonable):
Still 2.14.2...
With 2.16, this looks less pretty.
But I see that 2.16.2 would not help...
By the way, the question was: how is it possible to adjust the position by
hand (independently of the default position)?

Lyric after staff?
Hi list, What is the best way to put lyrics past the end of a staff, like this: ===|.

Re: Left align first word of lyrics
Indeed, many thanks, I did not expect that the solution would be so trivial. I tried with various values of self-alignment-X, but not with -1... -1 is the same as LEFT Okay, I did not read the manual carefully enough (again). I know and see that you put much effort in it, but please understand that lambda users do not always find their way through it. The solution is not perfect, however. I was more expecting a solution where the note is centered above the lyrics, and the lyrics aligned left; in this case the lyrics are indeed left aligned, but the note is also left aligned... What should the lyrics be left-aligned to then if not to the note? To each other. This would give something like: o Cccc C Cc Ccc c with the note on the first line, and the lyrics on the five next lines. The lyrics are all left-aligned, and the note is centered on the longest lyric. Gregory ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

Re: Left align first word of lyrics
Is it possible to automatically left align the first word of multiple
line lyrics ? By default the lyrics are all centered under the note,
which is okay in most situations, but perhaps not optimal for the first
word of a staff. For example, the words "Ccc", "Cc" and "C" are
centered under the c note with the following code:
\score {
\new Staff <<
\new Voice = A { \relative c' { c d e f } }
\new Lyrics \lyricsto A { Ccc ddd eee fff }
\new Lyrics \lyricsto A { Cc dd ee ff }
\new Lyrics \lyricsto A { C d e f }
>>
}
I know that it is possible to move a particular word by hand with
"\once \override LyricText #'self-alignment-X = #...". This solution
is however not only painful to type in, but its result is also most
often only approximately correct.
l=\once \override LyricText #'self-alignment-X = #-1
\score {
\new Staff <<
\new Voice = A { \relative c' { c d e f } }
\new Lyrics \lyricsto A { \l Ccc ddd eee fff }
\new Lyrics \lyricsto A { \l Cc dd ee ff }
\new Lyrics \lyricsto A { \l C d e f }
>>
}
Avoids the need for typing much, and seems to left-align accurately
according to my output.
Indeed, many thanks, I did not expect that the solution would be so
trivial. I tried with various values of self-alignment-X, but not with
-1... The solution is not perfect, however. I was more expecting a

Re: Enhancement request, add a new command to fill the rest of staff with blank space
Both are more tangible than "ghe". They give an identity to a person communicating on this list, even if it differs from the name on some identity card. Okay, done. Let's talk about real stuff now.
