Yet if the lyrics are something as: PrOne = \lyricmode { \override LyricText.self-alignment-X = #LEFT \skip 1 "Lyrics for introduction"1 \skip 2 "Lyrics for introduction"2 \skip 1. "Lyrics for introduction"2 \skip 1. "Lyrics for introduction"2 \skip 1. "Lyrics for introduction"2 } They still clash with the tuplet bracket. I think the problem is caused by Lilypond putting too many systems on the page (have no idea why). The verbose output says 'warning: compressing over-full page by 15.2 staff-spaces warning: page 1 has been compressed'. I added \paper { max-systems-per-page = 12 } and it seems to work as it should.
