Subject: Best practices in lyric typesetting
Hey all,
Putting aside the impossibility of the attached exercise, you'll see that
the lyrics stay shifted way down for the part of the attached example that
moves to D major.
I can't imagine that anyone sightreading this would want to see the lyrics
shifted down that much after the key change. Is there a way to signal to
the VerticalAxisGroup clumping Lyrics together that it should start a new
vertical alignment section? I can likely accomplish the same thing with
\new Lyrics as well, but it'd be strange in the way I'm structuring the
document.
Unless that type of thing appears heretic, in which case I'll just leave the
lyrics as they are.
Cheers,
MS

From Gould:
"A line of text should be parallel to the stave for the length of the
system, and not be placed on different levels to accommodate notes below the
stave".
This refers to lyrics.
