Hi Dominic,
1. The offset between the lyriclines is a bit too high. Is there an
easy way to reduce it?
\layout { \context { \Lyrics \override VerticalAxisGroup #'minimum-Y-
extent = #'(a . b) } }
2. I use the \set stanza = "1. " command within \lyricmode to set the
versnumber and to set the point where the refrain begins ("Refr. ").
When using the long string "Refr. " it sometimes sticks out of the
left boundary.
A similar problem occurs when typesetting longer syllables. Then the
sometimes stick out of the right boundary what looks quite ugly.
See docs for #'keep-inside-line.
3. Sometimes the hyphen between syllables shrinks that much that it
looks like a dot. As this does not look good I´d like to define a
minimum length for such hyphens. Is this possible?
You can certainly \override the #'minimum-distance and #'minimum-
length properties.
As for actually setting a LyricHyphen #'minimum-X-extent, I don't
know if that's possible.
4. Is it at all possible to move particular syllables a bit to the
left or right?
I use
\once \override LyricText #'X-offset
whenever I need to nudge a lyric.
Hope this helps!
Kieren.
