Re: font size in \addLyrics{}

[Kieren MacMillan]

Hi Gerard,


In the following I want to change the text font size


More to the point, you want to change the LyricText #'font-size.  ;)


misplaces the text


Partly, that's because you surrounded your entire lyric line in  
quotes, so that Lilypond tried to attach it to a single note.


Hopefully the attached modified version will help.
Kieren.

font size in \addLyrics{}

[Gerard McConnell]

Hello, I'm in difficulty again.  In the following I want to 
change the text font size;  
I tried \addLyrics { \markup { \fontsize #-1.0  "text" } }
which compiled without a warning and changes the 
font size, but misplaces the text.
Thanks,
Gerard
