Yes, LaTeX adds a new level of complexity (at least as far as consistent typography is concerned), but after all, it'd be great if LilyPond had some of the mighty TeX features (boxes in general, italic correction, etc.). But (back to topic) I just noticed that your first "Longa." box had an empty third line. If you remove this empty third line, even without overriding outside-staff-priority, the markup box will not be pushed up as long as the notes fit beneath it. It was this "place holder's" fault that the text had been pushed up, staff-padding will use the top line of the box for alignment and you don't need to fill it up by adding empty lines. I just inserted an empty line in between to match the faksimile. This all seems confusing because one does not see exaclty what's happening and how positioning is actually done. In these cases, I often use boxes (with box-padding 0) around markup blocks in order to see the actual extents of the markup. From LilyPond's point of view, this does not happen "without no need" at all, and the box clearly shows the empty third line adding to the box depth. <http://lilypond.1069038.n5.nabble.com/file/t3887/test-text-align-2.png> above: invisible empty line causes unwanted offset. below: skylines work as expected HTH Torsten -- Sent from: http://lilypond.1069038.n5.nabble.com/User-f3.html _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list [email protected] https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
