Hi Carl,

For me, it's the lyrics context that should not use skylining. We should
keep everything (dynamics, notes, etc) out of the lyrics line.

Excellent point < I wholeheartedly concur!
Kieren.


For the few times that this does happens, is it worth changing the
default? The example in the OP clearly needs to be changed, but
attached is a case where the skylining is much less distracting. It's
just a piano chord that sneaks into the space between lyrics and saves
a lot of space.


I think you're right. Also, it is common in vocal music that dynamics do
interleave with the lyrics.  So I retract my previous suggestion.

I've determined that the thing to do is to change the
outside-staff-horizontal-padding property for the ChordName grob.

Really? Where? A quick perusal through my scores of solo and choral music shows the dynamics always above the staff and lyrics below. Never interleaved.
