I can't reproduce the problem with the gap, could you post the code?

For the other things:

There are two problems:

(1) Creating new contexts vs continuing them.

Your code created two _new_ Lyric-contexts. LilyPond sorts newly
created contexts below the already existing ones, so the Lyrics were
note aligned.

Regard this small example:

<<
  \new Voice = "one"
  {
c''1
<<
  r1
  \new Lyrics = "lyr2"
\with { \override LyricText.color = #red }
\lyricmode { barbarbarbarbar }
>>
d''
  }
  \new Lyrics = "lyr1"
  \lyricsto "one" { foo buzz }
>>


\new Lyrics = "lyr2" is _not_ a continuation of \new Lyrics = "lyr1"
(and thus the context-modification via \with { ... } works)
Naming them "lyr1/2" is only for better understanding, you can delete
the names, without changing what works or not.

Compare with:

<<
  \new Voice = "one"
  {
c''1
<<
  r1
  \context Lyrics = "lyr1"
\with { \override LyricText.color = #red }
\lyricmode { barbarbarbarbar }
>>
d''
  }
  \new Lyrics = "lyr1"
  \lyricsto "one" { foo buzz }
>>

\context Lyrics = "lyr1" _is_ a continuation of \new Lyrics = "lyr1"
and the lyrics _are_ aligned.
You can delete the naming as well, but _if_ you use names they should
be the same!
n.b. the context-modification via does _not_ work!!


(2) context-modifications
If you continue a context via \context you obviously can't use \with {
... } to insert there context-modifications like overrides.
You need to do \override and \revert in the music-expression.

<<
  \new Voice = "one"
  {
c''1
<<
  r1
  \context Lyrics = "lyr"
%% doesn't work:
\with { \override LyricText.color = #red }
\lyricmode {
  \override LyricText.self-alignment-X = #LEFT
  barbarbarbarbar
  \revert LyricText.self-alignment-X
}
>>
d''
  }
  \new Lyrics = "lyr"
%% works:
\with { \override LyricText.color = #cyan }
\lyricsto "one" { foo buzz }
>>


Hope that helps a bit,

Greetings,

Yes, this is perfect! I am sheepish to admit that I do not quite
understand the solution. For example, if I were to leave out the first
measure in the code I submitted and then compiled, there appears a
large gap between the penultimate and the final word of the spoken
dialogue? Could you enlighten me as to this? Thank you again for your
solution!

Another Lyrics spacing issue.

2016-03-19 Thread Hwaen Ch'uqi 
Greetings All,

I have been having another puzzling alignment issue involving
competing Lyrics contexts.. The result of this code is again that the
part to be shouted by the chorus prints before the spoken line of the
single character is finished. I believe I have correctly attempted the
spacing solution given in the NR, but to no avail. I have tried other
ways of manipulating the code (which I alas cannot reproduce at the
moment), which results in a correct alignment between the solo
character and the Chorus, but there is then an unwanted gap between
the penultimate and last words of the spoken line. Is there a way to
resolve this so that there is neither a gap in the spoken text nor a
collision between the two lines? Ideally, I would like to accomplish
this using a double-dotted half rest rather than the half and dotted
quarter rsts shown below. Thank you so much for any help.
