The following should be the first of several consecutive chants and hymns. The first score is a salutation, and the second is the response. There are two things I would like to change, but don't know how: 1) The notes (especially in the second score) seem to be vertically centered on the staff

I don't know what version you get on SuSE, what does lilypond -v say? Also, it is easier to answer your question if you send a short example of what you have tried. Assuming that you use \addlyrics, my only guess is that you have a very old version of Lilypond. In that case, it might be that yo
