I am using lilypond to write out and point anglican chant for each
Sunday's Psalm setting. This fragment has two Psalm verses but
typically we sing six to 12 verses in various A B patterns. I
want to enter the music once and then repeat it for as many verses
as we need. I borrowed the "divisio*" from gregorian-init.ly. I
include the \set stanza command so we know when to restart during
rehearsal.
Whenever the "cadence" or ending phrase of the chant involves more
than one or two words, the lyrics text overlaps the subsequent
stanza label. Is there a way to override this, or can you
suggest an alternative method of marking the lyrics for rehearsal
without marking the music? I have attached a fragment png file
showing the overlap.
