Hello- I have played around with spacing in lyrics with underlines and that
didn't work very well. In the example below if I increase the lower spacing
for the text the lyrics lower accordingly. What suggestions does anyone have
to get the two lines to be together so the words attached to both notes and
rests line up better.
\version "2.10.25"
\header {
title = "Tunnel Piece"
composer = "Jay Hamilton"
copyright = \markup { \tiny \override #'(baseline-skip . 0.5)
\center-align
{ "CC lic 2.5 some rights reserved Jay Hamilton 1989"
"see http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nd/2.5/";
} }
}
fluteMusic =
\relative c'' {
\set Staff.instrumentName = "Singer I"
\set Staff.shortInstrumentName = "I."
\set Staff.midiInstrument = "flute"
\tempo 4=75
\time 6/8
r4^\markup {\tiny \italic "words spoken on rests and handclaps"} es8 des ~ des4
\override NoteHead #'style = #'cross bes8 bes^\markup { \hspace #0 \raise #1.5
\bigger \bold "In Position at the middle of the Tunnel" }\revert NoteHead
#'style r4_\markup {\center-align {\hspace #0 \lower #3 "RACK"} }\override
NoteHead #'style = #'cross bes8 bes \revert NoteHead #'style r4 es8 des ~ des4
\override NoteHead #'style = #'cross bes8 bes \revert NoteHead #'style
r4_\markup {\center-align {\hspace #0 \lower #3 "RACK"}} \override NoteHead
#'style = #'cross bes8 bes \revert NoteHead #'style
}
fluteLyrics = \lyricmode {
ay oh rack_ a rack_ a ay oh rack_ a rack_ a
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
}
\score {<<
\new Voice = "flute" \fluteMusic
\new Lyrics \lyricsto flute \fluteLyrics
>>
\layout { }
}
Thanks
Jay
