Re: Long words in lyrics and spacing

[Andrew Bernard]

Hi David,

If I remove the call to the consists statement in the layout block, the long words run over the bar. If you add it in, they line up. I don’t understand why.

\version "2.19.36"

treble = {

  \clef treble

  \time 4/4

  c'' r4 r r

  c'' r r r

  c'' r r r

}

words = {

  \lyricmode { _ _ alongword longwordhere a _ SORA! SORA! _ a }

}

\score {

  <<

    \new Staff = "treble" \with {

    }

    { \treble }

    \new Lyrics {

      \override LyricText.self-alignment-X = #LEFT

      \words

    }

  >>

  \layout {

    \context{

      \Lyrics

      \consists Bar_engraver

      \override BarLine.transparent = ##t

    }

  }

}
