Hi Simon, > It always uses a consistent number of staves for the music (which might also > be due to the music) This (i.e., the last bit) is the salient point. Look at essentially any opera or musical score (full or pianovocal), and a large proportion of [modern] choral scores, and you will

aligning melisma and non-melisma lyrics across staves in the same system

Hello all, I know there is a way to have accidentals “cross-canceled” between staves in the same system. (I’ve used it… and it’s wonderful!) Would it be similarly possible to have lyrics aligned between staves when one or more of the lyrics is melisma-attached (and is thus automatically

Hi Michael, Thanks for your response… But people are apparently missing my point/question. I’m not asking for advice about LyricExtenders, or whether this particular score should be in four staves, or about the spacing of the staves and lyrics, or autobeaming, or anything like that. The

weird fill-line behavior

Hey all, Any suggestions how to get even spacing in the example below? It is bunching up in all sorts of unpredictable ways... Cheers, ~Mike \version "2.19.30" #(set-default-paper-size "a4" 'landscape) #(set-global-staff-size 15.15) themeA = { \time 3/4 c4 d e | f e d | c2 r4 | }

Hi Mike, I replaced \fill-line with \justify-line and it looks much better. This is mentioned in the change log: http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.19/Documentation/changes/index.html It looks like it causes the space between columns to be equal instead of the centres. This is only available since some
