I found the answer to my own question. I looked in the file
define-markup-commands.scm and saw the example:
\magnify #1.1
and that worked.
Thanks

I've figured out how to change the font of my markup from an example on the
website using:
a8^\markup{ \override #'(font-name . "myfontnamehere") Verses}
But once I change the font, the Latex commands like \large and \small don't
work anymore. I've tried guessing at things like \override

I'm not exactly sure if I understand your question, but here's how I accessed
Adobe Helvetica in my lilypond file. I added:
\layout {
\context {
\Lyrics
\override VocalName #'font-name = #"phvr"
\override LyricText #'font-name = #"phvro"
}
}
These were found in my tfm/adobe/helvetic folder.
I'm trying to build Lilypond 2.5.14 on Cygwin. I get the message that 'msgfmt'
is not installed. Where would I find that program?

I've been using lilypond to create song books for church. We have many Slovak
hymns that we sing. Up until now, the congregation only had words without the
notes. It's been difficult for new people and young people who don't speak
Slovak to learn the songs, keeping our heritage alive. Now tha

The reason you have the extra white space between the staffs is because
lilypond is creating a space to hold the blank lyrics, that's why
\removeEmptyStaves doesn't remove them (they aren't empty, just blank). I also
have the same problem when I create songs with a refrain. I've decid

I would like to make a request about the font encoding (but I think I'm late
for your meeting). I don't know if this is possible, or if I can even describe
it correctly, but I think it would be nice to have the encoding work the same
as in a latex document.
I've noticed that some ch

Lloyd,
I'm not sure if this the official way to solve your problem. There used to be
an example of lyric alignment on the website, but I can't seem to find it.
Try this around each line:

I was looking at the new European fonts after I finally got my characters
working, and I noticed that the one I need, sans-serif italic, isn't included
in the set. Any ideas on what I can do?

I figured out my problem. I was changing the font to Adobe Helvetic, "phvr",
which must use a different font map. When I took that statement out, I got the
proper characters. What I'll do for now is just use the sans font-family.
Thanks,
Rob

Bert,
Thanks for your suggestion. I tried adding \encoding "TeX" to the beginning of
my .ly file. It got the syllables to line up, but strange characters were
substituted for the ones I wanted. For \\v{z} a quote was substituted. For
\\v{s}, a cross. I know it has something to do with acce
I got the Lilypond 2.4.2 for Cygwin working. Thanks Bertalan. Adding both
mirror sites and downloading some more files fixed it.
After updating my files to 2.4.2, I noticed that all the syllables with
European characters were shifted a little to the left. They were entered like
"tie\\v{z}"
I tried installing Lilypond 2.4.2 for Cygwin on Windows XP. I get the
following error message when I open the Cygwin window:

My stanza numbers don't appear when I use a partial measure to begin a repeat

Here's a simple hymn template I made for myself starting from the SATB

I figured out what the problem was. I should use 'time-signature instead of the old
way of using 'Time_signature. Now it works correctly and I can update the rest of my
files.

I've recently upgraded to Lilypond 2.2.2 on Cygwin. I would like to align my stanza
numbers closer to the lyrics. I had it working correctly in older versions using
"stanza" and later "instrumentname." I'm trying to get it to work now using

You can force a pagebreak in the middle of your song by entering \newpage at the
appropriate place in the notes of your lilypond file.

David,
I think the problem is because starting a new lyric line starts a new verse, which
gets it's own line below the first. I tried the same technique to move this line
second line around. This file below should help. I'll be able to use these ideas to
line up my lyrics better, too.
Rob
David,
I tested your code with Bert's suggestions about the minimum vertical extent. I was
curious about this myself. I think this might be what you want.
cue = \set fontSize = #-5
part = \set fontSize = #0
VoxCues = \notes \context Voice \relative c' {
<<
{

David,
Try using StaffContext instead of LyricsContext, or add \set
Staff.minimumVerticalExtent = #'(0 . 0) to your score to eliminate the spacing around
the staff.
Using a positive value in the negative field, like Charles Collins was saying about
\set Staff.extraVerticalExtent = #'(1 . 0)
I have the stanza numbers working in 2.1.11. I added a line to move the
self-alignment-Y as suggested to get them to line up with the lyrics. Thanks.
\score {
<<\notes \relative c'' \context Voice = duet { \time 3/4

Thanks for the reply. I tried using Instrument and Instr to get stanza numbers, and
it worked pretty well. I've included what I tried below.
However, you'll notice that the stanza numbers are dropped vertically about a half of
a space compared to the rest of the text. Is it possible to adjust
I would like to make a formal request regarding the new format of the stanza numbers

Thanks for your ideas about my question. I don't have the "ae" package on my system,

I did some more experimenting to try to answer my own question I posted earlier.

directly in Latex without T1 font encoding. When

Apparently, I was wrong about the spacing of the stanza numbers.
Today, I noticed that setting the break-align-symbol property to first-note or
next-note always aligned the first verse stanza number to the right. The second verse
could be centered by using the other property that was not used
I've been wanting to do the same thing with the alignment of the stanza numbers, so I
