Hi Gabriel, > In The Hymnal 1982, when there are five or more stanzas in a hymn, the > editors often engrave a horizontal line under the number for a middle > stanza. I’m not sure what exactly to call this line; Google suggests > “wayfinding line,” “visual separator,” “stanza divider line,” or simply > “underscore.”
we’ve had this question twice in October 2021: https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-user/2021-10/msg00123.html[1] https://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-user/2021-10/msg00177.html[2] For this Aaron created a solution which added the line to the stanza number, and I created a solution that used a special LineSep engraver group which injects the line as clef stencil, which means this line will print anywhere where a clef would print, that is start of line, or when forced. Cheers, Tina -------- [1] https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-user/2021-10/msg00123.html [2] https://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-user/2021-10/msg00177.html
