Rob, I tried your trick with the extra: \set minimumVerticalExtent = ##f \set verticalExtent = #'(1 . 0) ...just before the \lyrics that needed to be moved. It worked just fine. As for your observation that a new lyric line was causing the lyrics to be set lower; I had thought about that, but

bug or feature? headers with lilypond-book III

Hi at all, (lilypond version 2.1.28) in my last E-Mail with this subject I said, that in a book-dokument with many little scores the headers would appear to far above the scores (in opposite to the same scores (*.ly), translated with lilypond -P to *.ps) Now I found, that this is not quite correc

Hi, I know it's not the whole solution, but to abbreviate things you might use: \repeat unfold x {\beatnotes} ...to avoid repetition. Also, if you have a riff which you use over and over again, how about defining it separately: myriff = \notes {a8 a8 a4 a4 a8 a8} myotherriff = \notes {a4 a
