Re: lyric spacing : "why not follow instructions in manual"

[Father Panteleimon]

This solution is perfect.

\layout {
   \context {
     \Lyrics
     \override LyricSpace #'minimum-distance = #0.6
   }
 }


Thanks to all involved. I agree with Geoff that the default #.3 spacing is 
near invisible. Generally speaking, the "LyricSpace" solution makes far more 
sense than the one in the manual. If the default minimum lyric spacing 
doesn't get increased, then I would think that the "LyricSpace" solution 
should at all events be included in the next manual.

Geoff Horton's page for choral hymnody lilypond tricks is also very 
thoughtful and will be helpful to many.

I'm surprised a 0.3 spacing isn't more visible, but I'll shut up (at
least on this point) and go away (at least on this point). Thanks
again for helping me through this.
