Hi Wol, As mentioned by others, actual code samples will be much better than abstract complaints, if a solution is what you’re looking for.

Does this not fix your problem? \version "2.19.18" scriptStuff = { \repeat unfold 4 { c''-\markup "This is a long markup" } } %% default \score { \scriptStuff } %% with extra spacing tweak \score { \scriptStuff \layout { \context { \Score \override TextScript.extra-spacing-width = #'(-0.5 . 0.5) } } } > my use case bumps into collisions - often several - with pretty much EVERY > piece I do, and in every case lily's default behaviour is wrong. Likely it’s easy to fix — either by what I’ve used (above) or otherwise. Hope this helps!
