Hi Fred,

Is there a simple way to set lyrics like the example below?
I you
love
you me
That is, "(I/you) love (you/me)," where the pronoun stacks are vertically
centered on the single lyric line.
I tried << >> and \dropLyrics \raiseLyrics constructions, but <<>> doesn’t
work in lyric mode and \drop… and \raise… are no longer supported.
here is something to experiment with:
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\version "2.25.16"
\relative c' {
c2 c c c c1 c2 c
}
\addlyrics {
some words
\markup \vcenter \override #'(baseline-skip . 2.5) \center-column { I you }
love
\markup \raise #1.7 \override #'(baseline-skip . 2.5) \center-column { you me
}
more words
}
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
Hope to help,
Klaus
