Re: Lyric after staff?

A mixture would be \score { \new Staff << \new Voice = A { c' d' e' d' \bar "|." \stopStaff } \lyrics \with { associatedVoice = "A" } { A-4 ve Cae- sar, \unset associatedVoice "morituri te salutant." } >> } That's a good solution, albeit tricky... Thanks a lot! The problem wi

You can use extra-offset. eg: \once \override Score.VoltaBracket #'extra-offset = #'(0 . -1.5) will lower the following bracket by 1.5 staff units. Perfect, that's exactly what I needed. (And it turns out that the offset of -1.5 is also the value I need.) Thank you, Nick! Gregory ___

So the lyrics are supposed to be aligned as a block first which is then centered on the note. Exactly. I think that the current machinery is rather working by aligning everything independently to the note in question. Indeed. That would place the prealignment of the lyrics into

What is the best way to put lyrics past the end of a staff, like this: ===|. A B C D E F The words "A B C D" are placed with \lyricsto, but how is it possible to put words at positions "E F"? When written in the lyrics, they are simply ignored, even if the staff is not large enough

Is there a way to position (or to adjust the position of) the volta brackets manually? With the following example: \relative c'' { \repeat volta 3 { d4 d d d } \alternative { { c4 d e f } { e4 f g a } } } the volta brackets are raised, because of the final "a" note, but it could have

Indeed, many thanks, I did not expect that the solution would be so trivial. I tried with various values of self-alignment-X, but not with -1... -1 is the same as LEFT Okay, I did not read the manual carefully enough (again). I know and see that you put much effort in it, but please u

Is it possible to automatically left align the first word of multiple line lyrics ? By default the lyrics are all centered under the note, which is okay in most situations, but perhaps not optimal for the first word of a staff. For example, the words "Ccc", "Cc" and "C" are centered under

Both are more tangible than "ghe". They give an identity to a person communicating on this list, even if it differs from the name on some identity card. Okay, done. Let's talk about real stuff now. Gregory ___ lilypond-user mailing list lily
