Aha! Yes, it works, although I could use still more space between the barline and the words. However, applying this resulted in the bar lines being extended above and below the group of staves, as far up and down as the lyric lines go, which looks kinda freaky. How do I prevent this? Also, it seems that a period at the end of a lyric sentence causes the word with the period to be aligned rather far to the left with regard to the position of the note it is attached to. I suppose this is due to the implied extra space after the period? This is particularly annoying when a lyric sentence ends on the 1 of a bar (see bar 8 of the example I posted earlier). -- Atro Tossavainen (Mr.) / The Institute of Biotechnology at Systems Analyst, Techno-Amish & / the University of Helsinki, Finland, +358-9-19158939 UNIX Dinosaur / employs me, but my opinions are my own. < URL : http : / / www . iki . fi / atro . tossavainen / > File attachments NOT welcome unless agreed to beforehand. _______________________________________________ Lilypond-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
