Hi Gabriel,

This is how I would solve that issue:
%%% SNIPPET BEGINS
\version "2.24.4"
soprano = \relative c'' { c1 b4 a g2 }
verse = \lyricmode {
\once \override LyricText.self-alignment-X = #LEFT
\markup { \concat {
"Not unto us, ~O "
\general-align #Y #DOWN \override #'(baseline-skip . 2.4) \center-column {
\musicglyph #"scripts.ulongfermata" Lord }
", ~not unto us, // but unto thý "
\general-align #Y #DOWN \override #'(baseline-skip . 2.4) \center-column {
\musicglyph #"scripts.ulongfermata" Name }
}}
give the praise;
}
\score {
\new ChoirStaff <<
\new Staff << \new Voice = "soprano" { \voiceOne \soprano } >>
\new Lyrics \lyricsto "soprano" \verse
>>
\layout {
\context {
\Lyrics
\override VerticalAxisGroup.nonstaff-relatedstaff-spacing.padding = #1
}
}
}
%%% SNIPPET ENDS
> a) The tildes (~) no longer function to generate lyric ties.
That’s because they are inside quotes — you’ll need to use “real” lyrics, e.g.
Not_unto_us,_~_O
[not in quotes!] will give you what you want. I don’t know how to combine that
with markup in a single uninterrupted “syllable”, so someone else will have to
help you there.
Best,
Kieren.
