Re: Relative mode

[Mahanidhi]

To speak the truth I tried to have the music all together with /break command 
but what was happening is that the first line was starting not aligned with the 
other ones.

Here a minimal example:

\version "2.22.1"
\language "english"

global = {
\key gf \major
  \time 4/4
  \override Glissando.style = #'trill
  \override Score.SpacingSpanner.base-shortest-duration = #(ly:make-moment 
1/128)
  \set includeGraceNotes = ##t
  \override Score.GraceSpacing.common-shortest-duration = #(ly:make-moment 
1/132)
}
\paper {
top-margin = 10
right-margin = 10
left-margin = 10
}

\paper {
  #(define fonts
    (set-global-fonts
     #:roman "Times New Roman"
     #:sans "Nimbus Sans,Nimbus Sans L"
     #:typewriter "Luxi Mono"
     #:factor (/ staff-height pt 18)
    ))
}
\layout {
  \context {
    \Score
    \remove "Bar_number_engraver"
     defaultBarType = "" }}

\layout {
  \context {
\Staff
  \remove "Time_signature_engraver"
}}

\layout {
  ragged-last = ##f
  line-width = 190
}
\layout {
  \set includeGraceNotes = ##t
}

\relative c'
 {\global
 \tempo "Moderate-slow" 4 = 80
df8 df ef [ef] ef4 ef8 ff ff [ef] df4\bar "|"
 \break ef8 ef \glissando gf gf4 af8 gf2.\glissando  \hideNotes c,4^"         
fine"  \unHideNotes \bar "||"  ff8  [ \melisma ef  df] \melismaEnd df \melisma 
gf \melismaEnd ff  [ef]ef2.\bar "|"
}

 \addlyrics {To -- mār  __ _ kri -- pār cha -- ran -- (a) ta -- le
 \break ā -- mār __ _ ā -- mi  -- re __ _ hā -- rā -- bo bā -- le
  }
