--snip!-- Trevor, thank you very much for the explanations. I already tried fiddling around with the line-break-system-details, and I am very happy that this level of control is finally possible, but I think it is not the right thing for this project in particular, because: - My Score has 40 voices (Tallis, Spem in alium), so I have to specify the position of each of the 40 Staves plus the Lyrics "Staves". - My score has approx. 25 linebreaks (pagebreaks, actually, there are no real linebreaks), so this means I have to specify the positions of the Staves for every page: about 1000 times for the whole score. What I need is some setting that says: "This Staff (or Lyrics Line) is XYZ high. Always. Period." Any suggestions for a solution or workaround?
