Hi Andrew,

There are extensive examples for all sorts of situations like the one you described. > I can switch stem direction with \stemUp and \stemDown, and I can use > \set Staff.instrumentName to change the name as well. But is there some > command to change the lyrics' vertical placement so-to-speak on the fly? With > a single voice? Usince \set Lyrics.alignAboveContext = "staff" doesn't seem > to work. > alignAboveContext requires the name of the context, e.g. \new Staff = "2voice"... ....alignAboveContext = "2voice" should work. Try to provide a MWE - that will greatly simplify helping with your problem :) Kind regards, Michael
