Thanks to those who offered advice last week! I almost got to the point of incorporating lily into Sunday's PPT, but it was not quite good enough this time. Trevor's snippets were very useful: colouring any sort of text anywhere on the page is a doddle, but colouring the background is (as he says) messy. Provided I stay within the vertical confines of the five stave lines I can add colour without anything else moving. But as soon as I extend the colour to include notes, clef and text above and below the stave, lily expands the inter-system 'white' space, giving a pyjama-stripe effect and pushing the music onto extra pages. The attached .ly file shows where I got to. Clearly, for a single screen refrain, I can (and did) cut and paste the three stripes into a single jpg using gimp. But for a full-length worship song that would be rather tedious. If anyone can offer further advice for controlling the inter-system space generation (or any other suggestions), I would be most grateful! Gerry Prosser tel: 023 8026 8942 / mobile: 07785 291052
