Re: Help with some lyrics gymnastics

[Matthew Fong]

Hello everyone,

I've done a few more things which might be described as hacking using \markup. 

\tweak LyricText.self-alignment-X #-0.75
\markup \center-column { \override #'(baseline-skip . 0.4) \line{ "lives and reigns" } \vspace #-0.6 \line { \draw-line #'(19 . 0) } \vspace #-0.1 \line { "live and reign" }}

Could this be implemented via something like a TextSpanner? The horizontal line has some overhang, but too much and it start a staff on the next line. 

Unfortunately, I cannot change just one portion of the vertical alignment using VerticalAxisGroup.nonstaff-relatedstaff-spacing.padding

Any help is appreciated. Attached is my latest MWE.

Many thanks,

mattfong

Hello LilyPond friends,

I'm trying to replicate lyrics as shown in the red box (the Roman Missal in English), where

1/ Lyric options are stacked and separated by a horizontal line

2/ Lyrics without options are vertically centered relative to the option stack

Any idea how this can be accomplished? I have included my Gregorian chant MWE set up that hides noteheads, and I use one note head per syllable. 

Thank you all in advance!

Many thanks,

mattfong
