How to adjust padding (if at all) underneath lyrics in SATB reductions?

2012-11-05 Thread Aristotle Esguerra
Is it possible to adjust the padding/vertical spacing between the final
line of a multi-stanza hymn and the TB staff in an SATB choir reduction?

I am aware of some solutions that use hard-coded values (i.e., assuming a
set number of stanzas), but as this is intended as the basis for a template
for anywhere from 1–16 verses, those are unusable in this case.

An image of the whitespace in question may be found here:

Is it possible to create a custom expressive mark over noteheads (e.g.,
acute or grave accents)? Many thanks in advance.

Square brackets across an entire system?

2012-11-07 Thread Aristotle Esguerra
Below is the link to the code that will create square brackets for a single
staff.

Is there a similar way to create square brackets that span an entire system?
