I noticed that \override VerticalAxisGroup #'minimum-Y-extent works
with lyrics only in certain conditions.
If the lyrics start at the beginning of the piece it works. However,
if there's a rest before the music and the lyrics begin the
minimum-Y-Extent doesn't seem to work anymore. The global setting
works, of course, but the explicit settings for single voices don't.
Here's an example... There should be a huge gap on top of the first
lyrics. There's not. The setting works with the second lyrics.
%%%% Begin %%%%
\version "2.11.48"
{
<<
% Remove the R1 to apply the minimum-Y-extent.
{ R1 c'2 c' }
\addlyrics {
\override Lyrics . VerticalAxisGroup #'minimum-Y-extent =
#'(-0.5 . 20) Tra la! }
{ c'2 c' c' c' }
\addlyrics {
\override Lyrics . VerticalAxisGroup #'minimum-Y-extent =
#'(-0.5 . 5) Tra la la la! }
>>
}
%%%%% END %%%%%
It could be that I'm not using the setting correctly. If that's the
case, could someone point me in the right direction?
