Here is an example, as short as I could make it: \version "2.14.2" \include "gregorian.ly" \paper { paper-width = 28\mm left-margin = 0\mm right-margin = 0\mm } chant = { f' f' f' f' f' \finalis } verba = \lyricmode { bla -- bla -- bla -- bla -- bla } \score { \new Staff << \new Voice = "melody" \chant \new Lyrics = "one" \lyricsto melody \verba >> \layout { \context { \Staff \remove Bar_engraver \remove Time_signature_engraver } } } For the above the first line is broken after three "bla"-s and the hyphen of the last "bla" sticks out completely on the right. _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
