Hello Fr Samuel, It sounds like we are solving almost the same issue with note entry, and Aaron Hill created a function which basically scales note values so that they group together nicely. And the clutter from manual scaling is removed entirely. However, I am using fixed time (1/4). And to 'for

I’m still working on getting my modified slur spacing issues worked out and have yet to come up with a solution for the collision between \set stanza = "*" and the words when a slur occurs on either side of the asterisk. (You’ll note that the first asterisk in the MWE doesn’t have any problems

Hi, I still have problems with collisions. Sometimes the stanza numbers collide with the text before it. I´ve created a minimal example: %% START \version "2.10.33" refrain = \lyricmode { Test test test test. } verseOne = \lyricmode { \set stanza = "1. " Testi tes

Thanks for taking a look at this. I thought about inserting invisible bar lines to allow more natural breaking on long strings of lyric text. But for that to look right, there would need to be a way to optionally re-print the reciting tone at the beginning of the new line. I don't know if

Thanks for responding. Agreed, I did not follow your advice exactly and in this email I have included a complete example. I used the text \markup for two reasons. First, it would still be nice to know the specific verse number and the verses don't always start at "1." Second, I am trying

I'm wondering if you couldn't avoid this by adding bar lines to the lyrics context and making them invisible. This _might_ make the lyrics dodge them automatically (though I make no guarantees). In practice, I've just left multiple syllable lyrics centered at the end of a phrase (not the beginning

I think you misunderstood my reply. I didn't say that you should use text \markup commands, but that you should use Rehearsal marks, i.e. use the \mark command, just as you already have done for the "REFRAIN" indication in your original example. Also, it's much easier to understand a question if

Why not use reheasal marks, see the section on "Rehearsal marks" for more details. As you can see there, you can even get automatic numbering. It might also be possible to make the stanza number allocate space so it doesn't collide with the preceding lyrics, but I don't know how to do that. Yet a
