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

Hi,

I'll soon have to run for my regular job, so I limit my reply to
alignAbove/BelowContext.

In short, because you told LilyPond to do so ;)

More verbose (with pseudo code), look at what you did and how LilyPond
understands it:

(1) you typed:

Staff
Lyrics1
Lyrics2
Lyrics3
Lyrics4

(2) then you told to place Lyrics1 right above Staff:

Lyrics1 align-right-above-Staff
Staff
Lyrics2
Lyrics3
Lyrics4

(3) then you told to place Lyrics2 right above Staff:

Lyrics1
Lyrics2 align-right-above-Staff
Staff
Lyrics3
Lyrics4


(4) then you told to place Lyrics3 right below Staff (same output as before):

Lyrics1
Lyrics2
Staff
Lyrics3 align-right-below-Staff
Lyrics4

(5) then you told to place Lyrics4 right below Staff

Lyrics1
Lyrics2
Staff
Lyrics4 align-right-below-Staff
Lyrics3

All done as specified.


Maybe someone can step in for the spacing, I'll be back in the evening.


Cheers,
  Harm
