The horizontal spacing of the whole phrase will partially determine what the
score looks like…
Here’s a modified snippet that might give you some hints about things you can
do to tweak your scores to your liking:
theMusic = {
\time 3/4
\key g \major
e'4( f') g' |
f'( d') fis' |
}
theWords = \lyricmode {
San -- ctus
San -- ctus
}
\score {
<<
\new Staff \new Voice \theMusic
\addlyrics \theWords
>>
\layout {
line-width = 4\in
ragged-right = ##f
\context {
\Score
\set lyricMelismaAlignment = #-0.7
}
}
}
Hope this helps!
Kieren.
