have lots of verses and all of them aren't always included in the music

markings). Someone told me that the documentation explained how to do

Dear Paul,
It appears to make no difference where the \header goes. It doesn't

I have a working example of what you are asking for. Some double angle
brackets may be necessary:
\book {
\score {
\set Score.skipBars = ##t
Sure! I haven't really followed this thread, though. Could you tell
me what section to include it in (somewhere in vocal music in
instrument-specific notaiton, I'd imagine) and exactly what text
and/or lilypond example should be added?

Hi Graham,
I had been looking for a way to make lyrics fit between bar lines. This was
mainly because some lyrics under short notes (i.e. 16th, 32nd etc) would
hang out in space (even worse if there were extender lines) at the right
side a score.
But this is useful for people who want to use

Someone helped me to realize the answer to this. I didn't realize you could
use text markup outside of a score and that the default alignment for such,
below the score, is to the left border of the staff. This makes many things
feasible.
However, what if you want the lyrics/text positioned to

First of all, you can skip the \book command, which is implicitly
added around any LilyPond input file if you don't write it yourself.
