Hi Carl-Hendrik, please use the code I sent you, because it works here, I tested it. If you then want to put it elsewhere or change things, do it step by step to see which step fails. Does this minimal example work for you? { a a a a } \addlyrics { A B C D } \layout { \override

Dear Carl-Henrik, I would suggest to reduce the global staff size to 19. That gives you more space both vertically and horizontally. And I would remove your custom system-system-spacing as it makes it harder to recognize what belongs to which system. I don't know if that is an option for you.
