here's a simplified example: quintosoloA = \drummode { sn8 sn sn r8 sn sn sn r8 sn sn sn r8 sn sn sn r8 sn sn sn r8 r8 r4. } quintosoloATextAbove = \lyricmode { m m m m m m m m m m m m m m m } quintosoloATextBelow = \lyricmode { R L R R L R R L R R L R R L R } % layout the score \score { << \new StaffGroup << \new DrumStaff = soloA \with { fontSize = #-2 } << \repeat volta 2 { \time 6/8 \set Staff.instrumentName = #"quinto" \new DrumVoice = soloA \with { fontSize = #-2 } { \quintosoloA % \quintosoloB } } \new Lyrics \with { alignAboveContext = soloA } \lyricsto soloA \quintosoloATextAbove \new Lyrics \lyricsto soloA \quintosoloATextBelow >> >> >> } hope you can adapt it Eluze -- View this message in context: http://lilypond.1069038.n5.nabble.com/Aligning-Text-Above-and-Below-Notes-tp137190p137224.html Sent from the User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
