Thank you Carl. Interesting example. For the hymns I do, that might work for the first couple bars, but then I'll have to predict where the linebreak will be and revert it at that point. I'm using a template system to auto-generate the lilypond code, so having to insert a counter-acting command at an unpredictable spot in the lyrics will be rather annoying.Are there any Lilypond developers still active on the list who might be interested in doing a sponsored modification that would allow two staves to be pasted together within a score. Alternatively, allowing two scores to be pasted together on the same line, since scores already follow one another sequentially inside a book?TedOn 20 August 2013 13:41, Carl Peterson <address@hidden> wrote:

Now, someone posted another alternative; I could mark the musical notes of the refrain as a separate voice, and tie the chorus lyrics to that. Well and good; I wasn't aware that voices could be sequential. After all, staves in a score can only be in parallel. So, having done that, is there a way to tell the Lyrics attached to the chorus Voice that they should vertically center themselves?Alternately, why not allow sequential staves in a score? Especially if it began at the last barline of the previous score, instead of requiring a line-break.This may be of help in your issue: http://lsr.dsi.unimi.it/LSR/Item?id=503I don't deal with this in the template I posted because I virtually always insert a line break between verse and chorus, so it's a moot point for me. But perhaps the above snippet will be useful.Cheers,Carl
