Thank you Carl, that is a perfect example. For me, the gap on the right
hand side because of the forced break breaks the flow. Also takes up more
space. If I force breaks it is ok, but I prefer compact music.
Sounds like we are working on something similar, Carl. I'm porting the

Another problem with that snippet is the amount to drop. With a good
centering command, it is centered. But if I alter the font size, etc, the
amount of raising and dropping needed to center the lyrics will alter. How
can I predict that without a lot of kludgy code? Again, I'm generating

Thank you Carl. Interesting example. For the hymns I do, that might work
for the first couple bars, but then I'll have to predict where the
linebreak will be and revert it at that point. I'm using a template system
to auto-generate the lilypond code, so having to insert a counter-acting

staves.
Yes, it is easy to add the chorus t
