Phooey. I assume that "Lyric" was supposed to be the text of the lyrics, right? Then the next thing to try would likely be writing \default before Lyrics (to tell LilyPond that one really, really, really wants to skip the specification of a grob if I remember the 2.16 arguments correctly). I remember that tweaks/overrides and the related footnotes were a bit tricky in Lyrics mode. It would likely look better to use the footnote commands available inside of markup, but I think that the footnote texts did not make it to the page then. Actually, that's also something that should likely get fixed. -- David Kastrup _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
