Lilypond does use the text baseline as reference point for text. It seems that override of stencil-align-dir-y = #CENTER makes LilyPond *replace* the usual reference point with the vertical center of the text, including descenders if there are any. Other values in place of CENTER move the reference to different fractions of the vertical extent. Looking at the code, leaving stencil-align-dir-y unset leaves the reference point at the baseline. The documentation talks next about stencil-offset Try that. _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list [email protected] https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
