Hi, I have typeset over 100 pages of music with Lilypond 2.8.6 last month and there's only one thing that I could not figure out how to do. Every now and then, lyrics will collide with barlines. See for example:
http://catalin.francu.com/Music/colinde/ (some Romanian carols). Look at la_vitleem_colo_n_jos.ly and the generated la_vitleem_colo_n_jos.pdf. You'll see the collisions right from the first system. The documentation proposes a solution here: http://www.lilypond.org/doc/v2.8/Documentation/user/lilypond/Vocal-music.html#Vocal-music However, that doesn't work well for me. See the modified la_vitleem_colo_n_jos2.ly and la_vitleem_colo_n_jos2.pdf in the same folder. Two unwanted effects happen when I do what the manual says: - The bar lines now extend down, including the bass lyrics (before, they ended on the bass staff) - Some non-simple barlines (such as the repeat barline after measure 18) appear chopped in pieces. Ideally, I'd like a way to tell Lilypond "I want at least two mm of space between barlines and text". Other than that, big big kudos (I wish I only had one gripe with every software package I used).
