I'm trying to get text to line up for psalm chants - this involves assigning a large block of text to a whole note representing the reciting tone. Unfortunately, unless I pad the measure with s1.'s before the reciting tone, I wind up with text off the left end of the paper.
So I thought this:
*\override Score . PaperColumn #'keep-inside-line = ##t*
would fix it, but it seems to make no difference. I tried placing it in
different parts of the file, but inside addlyrics is the only place I don't
get an error message. But it still has no effect. In the full piece the
effect is worse, because of course only system 1 is indented. My snippet is
from system 3, but this actually happens often during the piece.
I have my workaround, but I have to do this often - if there's a way to use
\override to make this automatic, it would sure save me a lot of time.
Here's my snippet:
---start ly---
\version "2.11.37"#
(set-global-staff-size 12)
pipeSymbol = \bar "|"
\header {
title = "Ps. 32, Happy Are Those Whose Transgression is Forgiven"
maintainer = "Jay Ricketts"
maintainerEmail = "jay.ricketts (at) gmail.com"
lastupdated = "2008/Jan"
footer = "2007/01/31-1203"
}
<<
\chords {
}
\relative {
\key g \major \clef treble \set Staff.midiInstrument = "voice oohs"
\cadenzaOn
a'1 g8 e g g fis (e4) r | \break
}
\addlyrics {
\override Score . PaperColumn #'keep-inside-line = ##t
\set stanza = "1."
"While I kept si -- lence, my bod -- y was -- ted a -- way through my" groa
-- ning all day long.
}
>>
\layout {
\paper {
system-count = #1
} }
---end ly---
I've attached the pdf of my snippet's result. I'm running under Win XP Pro
SP2.
Thanks again for a great program.
