with the following code \version "2.17.4" \paper { line-width = #30 indent=0 ragged-right=##f} melody = \relative \repeat unfold 3 { c1 \break } verseone = \lyricmode { \set stanza = \markup \with-color #cyan "1." \set shortVocalName = #"short 1" _ one one } versetwo = \lyricmode { \set stanza = "2." \set shortVocalName = \markup \with-color #red "short 2" two \markup \with-color #green twooooooo _ } \score { << \new Staff \melody \addlyrics \verseone \addlyrics \versetwo >> }
you get testx.png <http://lilypond.1069038.n5.nabble.com/file/n142735/testx.png> 1 - in the first system, the stanza of verseone is printed but shifted vertically because it fits between the clef and the first note and there is no lyric text (imo the stanza should be ommitted here like the shortVocalName of versetwo in the 3rd system - that seems to be the correct way) 2 - the shortVocalName of versetwo collides with the barnumber of the 3rd system 3 - for some reason the text of versetwo is not centered on the note bug squad: should we raise 3 trackers or is it better to keep them together!? thanks!
