Quoth Mats Bengtsson:For some reason, LilyPond gets confused by your construct \new Voice { \relative { \time 6/4 \key f \major \context Voice = "refrain" { ... If you replace \new Voice by \context Voice = refrain in your \score block, then the alignment of both stanza numbers and syllables is correct.The original reason I started doing it that way was I had a couple of songs whose verses came after their refrain, and I had no actual understanding of how Voices work, or that they didn't nest, or anything like that. :) Your suggestion won't quite work for the refrain-verse structure I note, but there are others that will.
I forgot to mention that the stanza and lyrics alignment is correct when I try your original example with version 2.7, so you can consider it a bug in 2.6.
3) The metadata permitted in \header seems ill-suited for a lot of the stuff I'm typing in (old churchy stuff, mostly). [...]I usually don't bother so much about the names of the different fields. Often, you can use a field like poet for something else. Note also that you can easily specify several lines for each field using text markup, for example poet = \markup{\column \line {Aaaa Bbbb, v1,3} \line{Cccc Dddd, v2,4 }}Ah, didn't realise that. I'm kind of a metadata snob, and I hate mixing content and presentation like that, but if that's the way to do it that's what I'll do. :)
The purist solution, of course, is to redefine the functions that typeset the
titling. Then you can use any field names you wish.
