In my music, I have the chorus at the top and the verses
following. Since my music is longer than one page, it
overflows to the next. So, since I'm using two pages, I

page 1 and the verses on page 2. This works fine, but now

Jacques,
I've been playing with this for awhile.
My summary: I wanted the chorus on one page and the verses
on page two, so I inserted the \pageBreak. It made two
pages, but stretched the score to fit the page by inserting
space between the staves. But I wanted the staves to look
normal on
How can I insert this text in between staves?
mytext = \markup { \tiny \italic "Repeat Chorus after every
verse " }
The only place I can seem to place it is *outside* the score
- either before or after it. I've tried putting it in other
places too, to no avail. If I put it before or aft
Well, I know how to do *that* - that is, I know how to get
text above and below the staves.
But I want text above and below the scores - sort of like a
subtitle.
At the end of each page, about 3/4 inch below the last line
of lyrics I want to put my note (it's to say that the chorus
should b
In my piece I have a piano staff with the music on the
bottom staff. In the upper staff it is supposed to be notes
for recorder or flute accompaniment. In the original the
flute notes and its staff are all a bit smaller in size.
What do you call those smaller notes? I want to make the

Nathan,
That worked like a charm! Thank you very much!

Hello,
Try adding the following \with block to your Staff:
\new Staff \with {
fontSize = #-3
\override StaffSymbol.staff-space = #(magstep -3)
\override StaffSymbol.thickness = #(magstep -3)
}
In my music I have been using
\set stanza = "1. "
to get line numbering for the lyrics. But this only numbers
the beginning of the lyric's line.
I can manually insert that to get the numbering to appear
within the lyric line, but what I need is for it to appear
at the start of each lyric as it
Well, that does indeed number every line, but it places the
number outside the borders of the lyric text. Set Stanza
made the number inline with the lyrics.

So, I'm trying to force my music onto one page. If I can

I've been playing with this override:

Thanks, Mr. Meyn,
That certainly does the trick.
So you can't write macros for \with{} statements?
Why couldn't I do it this way, if I just want to create the

Where can I find the docs to explain how the macro works?

There is this one song that is in c-minor and so the key

each staff.
But c-major doesn't need any extra signs.

Ah! I think I got this one:
\override LyricText #'extra-offset = #'(0.8 . 0)
This will allow me to add extra space between the numbers
(which are in the right place) and the start of the lyric text.

Because stanza numbers only appear on the first line. Using
instrumentName to label verse numbers provides automatic
numbering on every line. It wasn't my idea, actually,
credit for that goes to Thomas Morley a few issues ago in
Vol 163:issue 95. It works quite well.
On 7/1/2016 1:30 PM,
Thanks for the discussion, fellas,
So, is there an easy way for me to do this? I only want to
number every line.
If I use \stanza then it only numbers the first line.
If I use \instrumentName then it numbers correctly, but
doesn't leave room for the repeating clef. I can adjust the
position
Joram,
So, I want to do this in the layout context because I want
to use it in an include.
It will get rid of the time signature, but I can't get rid
of the KeyCancellation that appears at the end of the line
after a \break. How do I get rid of that?
\override Staff.TimeSignature.
So, Mr. Harm, I'd like to use your stanza-number-every-line

Well, I only recall one alternative and that is using Harm's

I want to achieve the numbering to line up at the front of

indeed, get the numbering, but not the justification of the
