Re: Lyric line's vertical position is shifting from one staff system to the next.

Dear Harm, You did it! You solved my problem, and have saved me from countless tweak-recompile-tweak-recompile cycles with the way I was doing things before. I can now set the vertical spacing of the chord/lyric lines in relation to a single-line staff and move on, as I wanted. I am grateful

Re: Lyric line's vertical position is shifting from one staff system to the next.

A P.S. to my beginner musings: Perhaps, the VerticalAxisGroup stretchability variable could be adjusted in its behavior, so that when it is at 0, no bounding box/skyline safeguards are considered for the nonstaff-relatedstaff-spacing property at all - the 'text baseline to staff center'

Dear code wizards, I still have more to solve on this issue, if possible. I think I have discovered why most of the shifting is happening: The skyline rather than the baseline of the lyric line text is being referenced by LilyPond when calculating vertical placement. What I am going for is

Re: Lyric line's vertical position is shifting from one staff system to the next.

I am still trying to work out why the lyric lines are shifting from one staff system to the next in my manuscripts. In studying the documentation and experimenting with code snippets, I have noticed some curious lyric line behavior when using the VerticalAxisGroup spacing properties. I took

Kieren, Thank you, this is a great improvement! It looks like I need to study Chapter 4.4 of the Notation Reference and many of the links. I will play with the code you shared and do some homework before I ask more questions which are arising on this topic. I just want to thank you promptly

Lyric line's vertical position is shifting from one staff system to the next.

Hi everyone, May I ask for some advice? I would like to have a single line staff that is grouped with other staffs, which I use to display chords and lyrics into rows above and below the line. I am using the following tweak on each lyric line, where 'y' is adjusted:
