Re: Prevent lyrics from running over bar lines

[Leo Correia de Verdier]

Hi Vladimir!

You can include these lines in a layout block:
%%%%%%%%
\layout {
  \context {
    \Lyrics
      \consists "Bar_engraver"
      \consists "Separating_line_group_engraver"
      \hide BarLine
  }
}
%%%%%%%%

 (Its also possible to put the consists and hide in a \with statement in each 
lyric block, but is seems clumsier to me)
More about it can be read here:
