I am not really interested in puzzling fragments together into something that may or may not correspond to what you are using yourself. So I have nothing to test the following against: It's probably viable to do something like \once \override TextScript.outside-staff-priority = ##f in order to stop LilyPond from moving material outside of the staff. -- David Kastrup _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
