Hi, below is a piece of a well-known chorus :) Unfortunately, high bass notes with accents and forte mark, combined with tenor lyrics, add up to incredible between-staff-space, and in effect unacceptable system height... I've tried doing some things described here<http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.12/Documentation/user/lilypond-learning/Moving-objects#Moving-objects>, but i don't understand them well enough and it didn't work like i wanted :( What is the most elegant solution for moving the dynamic marks in such a way that LilyPond could calculate vertical system spacing with knowledge that dynamics are moved? In short, how to achieve what is in attachment with minimal fuss?
Sorry for such a basic question, but i'm tired by spending over an hour trying to understand all these overrides & co... \version "2.12.3" \score { << \new Voice = alto { \clef treble \relative c' { d2 d4 -> ^\f d4-> | d4-> r8 a'8 b8 a8 r8 a8 | } } \new Lyrics = altolyrics \lyricsto alto \lyricmode { ver, King of Kings, for e -- ver and } \new Voice = tenor { \clef "treble_8" \relative c' { a2 d4 -> ^\f d4-> | d1-> ~ | } } \new Lyrics = tenorlyrics \lyricsto tenor \lyricmode { ver, King of Kings, } \new Voice = bass { \clef bass \relative f { fis4 d4 d'4-> \tweak #'extra-offset #'( 2 . 4) ^\f d4-> | d4-> r8 fis,8 g8 d8 r8 fis8 | } } \new Lyrics = basslyrics \lyricsto bass \lyricmode { e -- ver, King of Kings, for e -- ver and } >> } best regards, Jan Warchol
