You can add a page break using the command \newpage. Just as \break for line breaking, it will only work at bar lines. For the moment, there's no way to prevent page breaks, but often you can control it by adding them manually where you want them. /Mats LEGRAND Jean-Marc wrote: HI ! I've been tr

Ragged right does not extend the staff lines to the end of the page. This is important even for the last line of music (after the last \finalis). In addition, the custos must be right-justified. Mats Bengtsson wrote: Have you tried \paper{ raggedright = ##t} See http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.2/Doc

One solution is to use the \RemoveEmptyStaffContext and simply insert multimeasure rests in the second stave. Then, LilyPond will automatically remove the second stave and the opening brace on the lines where there are no notes. Example: uppervoice=\new Staff \notes\relative c'{ c d e f g a b c c b

The problem is that each set of lyrics will be typeset in a new Lyrics context. Since the contexts are placed vertically in the order they are created, each new one will appear one step further down.
