Hi All, Please consider this snippet: %% \version "2.20.0"
%% just a line to show the horizontal spacing: redline = \markup { \with-color #red \with-dimensions-from \null \translate #'(.6 . -15) \draw-line #'(0 . 25) } %%% << { \voiceOne c'' 4 4 4 \new Voice { \voiceOne c''4 4 4 } 4 4 } \\ { \voiceTwo c'4 4 4 4-\redline 4 4 4-\redline 4 } >> \new Staff = Portee << { \voiceOne c'' 4 4 4 \new Voice { \voiceOne c''4 4 4 } \addlyrics \with { alignAboveContext = "Portee" } { la la la } 4 4 } \\ { \voiceTwo c'4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 } >> \layout { \context { \Voice \override NoteColumn.force-hshift = 0 % <= no effect } \context { \Lyrics \override LyricText.font-size = #-10 % <= no effect } } %%% I'm not sure if this is a bug (I didn't find any it in the bug list). Anyway, I'd like to avoid this bad spacing. Any idea how to? TIA, cheers, Pierre
