Hi James,
I tried it and that's what happened; I've attached the file in case you'd
like a look at the result.
On the other hand, I can confirm that Phil Holme's idea does work -
\override LyricText #'font-shape = #'italic italic text \override LyricText
#'font-shape = #'normal

Hi Gerard,
How do I italicize a section of text inside \addlyrics?
\markup \italic { a section of text to be italicised }
I don't think that will work; that will italicize the section of text,
but the words will no longer be treated as lyrics, that is, they won't
be aligned under the notes as lyrics would be.
What would lead you to come to this conclusion?
\version "2.12.0"
\layout {
indent = #0
\context {
\Score
\remove "Bar_number_engraver"
}
\context {
\Lyrics \override LyricText #'font-size = #-1
}
}
\header {
title = "All Creatures Of Our God And King"
tagline = ##f
}
