I sometimes add sticking to drum scores to assist readers by showing the
preferred hand for each stroke.
I'm aware of the ability to change the horizontal position of lyrics
using '\override LyricText.self-alignment-X'.
When I use '= #LEFT', the lyric is under the notehead, rather than the stem.
When it comes to sticking, and when the vocalist is a drummer, I'd like
to see the lyrics further left, i.e. right below the stem. Is there a
tweak that will provide that?
Here's an MWE:
\version "2.24.0"
% Drums
Drums = \drummode {
\repeat unfold 8 sn8
}
% Sticking
Sticking = \lyricmode {
\override Lyrics.LyricText.font-series = #'bold
\override LyricText.self-alignment-X = #LEFT
\repeat unfold 4 { R L }
}
\score {
\new DrumStaff <<
\new DrumVoice = "Drums" { \voiceTwo \Drums }
\new Lyrics { \Sticking }
>>
}
The output from this score is:
