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 } >> }Hello, If the alignment of the sticking is otherwise consistent, i.e. always appearing under the notehead, adding the following immediately under \override LyricText.self-alignment-X = #LEFT might be a quick solution for you: \override LyricText.extra-offset = #'(-0.75 . 0) This allows not only the horizontal, but also vertical adjustments, as well.

Thanks, Yoshi, that does what I want. I found that -0.75 was just a bit too far, so settled for a value of -0.6.
