This took a while for me to figure out, but you didn't use hara kiri for the lyrics. I changed this so Lyrics, ChordNames and FiguredBass all use hara kiri by default. I believe this fixes your problem. You can check this for yourself by inserting \translator {\LyricsContext \remove "Axis_group_engraver" \consists "Hara_kiri_engraver" } \translator {\LyricsVoiceContext \remove "Axis_group_engraver" \consists "Hara_kiri_engraver" } into the \paper block. -- Han-Wen Nienhuys | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | http://www.cs.uu.nl/~hanwen _______________________________________________ Lilypond-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
