I'm creating a simple note exercise for guitar students (see below).
I have 3 problems:
1. The lyric underscores are too close to the low E so there is no room to
write the note name. How do I add extra padding (spacing) between the staff
and the lyrics?
2. How do I "tweak" the vocalName under the treble clef rather than have it
outside the staff lines?
3. How do I repeat the vocalName at the start of each lyric line rather than
just having the vocalName on the first line?
Any suggests on how to do this better, would also be appreciated.
