Hello list,
I want to place lyrics above and below a certain staff which works
perfectly as long as I do not change the size of staff and lyrics,
see the attached file and its resulting pdf.
Interestingly, it seems that tin example 2, the upper lyrics are
farther away in the first line, whereas the lower lyrics are farther
away in the second line.
How can I achieve the narrower lyrics from example 1 with the smaller
lyrics and staves of example 2?
I don't think LP fails, it's just that the vertical spacing isn't corrected
with the \staffSize macro (which btw can be simplified to
staffSize = #(define-music-function (parser location new-size) (number?)
#{
\set fontSize = #new-size
\override StaffSymbol #'staff-space = #(magstep new-size)
\override StaffSymbol #'thickness = #(magstep new-size)
#})
and then it can be used in any context owning a font size engraver)
to control the vertical spacing just specify
\new Lyrics \with {
\staffSize #-4 alignAboveContext = #"test"
\override VerticalAxisGroup.nonstaff-relatedstaff-spacing = #'(
(basic-distance . 2)
(padding . 1)
)
}
or similar
