Closer to just left of the first choir word. There can be some “springiness” in its placement for spacing reasons, so long as it doesn’t collide with the words on either side and there is some clear whitespace around it (i.e. I’d like to avoid a “word*word” look). > Vertical: Centered? On the text baseline? In the usual place with respect to the text baseline for an asterisk. That can vary from font to font, but usually is such that the top of the asterisk glyph is level with the top of they typical capital letter. > When I start with this really simple snippet, it seems (as I understand it) > that we’re already close: Said simple snippet demonstrates that the default position for an asterisk placed by \set stanza is indeed right where I want it to be. The problem is that when the Slur_spacing_engraver is used, that positioning is no longer respected, leading to the collisions. ✝✝✝✝✝✝✝✝✝✝✝✝✝✝✝✝✝✝✝✝✝✝✝✝✝✝ Fr. Samuel, OSB (R.
