Hi Guy, My idea would be to have the Dynamics context from the beginning of your score, and skip over the first chunk: %%% code begin \score { << \new Dynamics \with { \override VerticalAxisGroup.nonstaff-nonstaff-spacing = #'((padding . 1)) } { % Instead of "1" here, you would enter the number of bars you % need to skip (ie, the number of bars before this divisi). \repeat unfold 1 { s1 | } s2. a'4^\mf^\dim ^"Solo, Remaining voices Ooos" \bar "||" a'4. bf'8 c''4 a' | g'2 f'\p | } \new Staff = "sopranos" << \new Voice = "Soprano" { c''4 a' g' f' | e'2. << \new Voice = "Solo" { \voiceOne { \partial 4 a'4 \bar "||" a'4. bf'8 c''4 a' | g'2 f' | } } \new Lyrics \with { alignAboveContext = #"sopranos" } \lyricsto "Solo" { Yet what I can I give Him, } \new Voice = "sopranoOoos" { \voiceTwo { \partial 4 f'4( ~ | f'4. g'8 a'4 f' | f'2 d') | } } \new Lyrics \lyricsto "sopranoOoos" { Ooo } >> \bar "|." } \new Lyrics \lyricsto "Soprano" \lyricmode { I would do my part; } >> >> \layout { } } %%%% code end I haven't really tested this but I don't believe it will add any vertical space in other systems where there are no dynamic markings in that context (except for maybe the bit of padding, which is a very small amount, and could even be reduced to 0.5).
