unusual lyric placement in second verse

2016-02-14 Thread dl . mcnamara
Hey all, I'm typesetting a hymn where the first section is (volta) repeated with different lyrics. The way that the words are laid out across the two different lines seems odd and distracting to me -- particularly on the fourth and eighth bar. (a) why is lilypond laying the two line out dis

2015-04-04 Thread dl . mcnamara
I'm trying to put lilypond snippets inside a tabular environment in LaTeX, but running lilypond-book on the file seems to ignore the lilypond blocks. I'm guessing that lilypond-book just ignores the tabular environment as a whole. Anyone have a workaround for using lilypond-book? otherwise I'l
