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 displaced from one another?
(b) is there a way to make things line up better?
Dave
