Re: \override Score . PaperColumn - am I using this wrong?

[Jay Ricketts]

Poifect!

 

Just removed the \once and changed ragged-right to #f and it was exactly like I wanted.

 

I probably spent 2 1/2 hours tweaking the looks of the psalm last night padding with s's (and trying a few other workarounds).  This will save me hours and hours of Lenten drudgery, LOL.

 

Thank you so much!

Hi Jay,

I think you want to use the LyricText #'self-alignment-X property.
See attached example.

Hope this helps!
