Nick, there is a 'baseline-skip property of TextScript, briefly described here: http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.11/Documentation/user/lilypond-internals/text_002dinterface
Also, in your example, \tiny and \italic don't need their own curly braces since you're already using them for \column --- all three commands can use the same single set of braces. - Mark ____________________________________________________ \version "2.11.62-1" \relative { \once \override TextScript #'baseline-skip = #0 g'^\markup { \tiny \italic \column { "right hand the same" "simile la main droit" } } a b c } _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
