Re: shifting an aligned syllable further yet

Hi, Eduardo:

Hello list, I wonder how can I shift these two left-aligned lyric syllable more to the right and they would still be left-aligned in relation to each other?

Note that the self-alignment-X takes any number you want, and you can use spaces to increase the "virtual size" of a given syllable. For example,

\version "2.8.0"
vI = \lyricmode {  \once \override LyricText #'self-alignment-X = #0
Great is the Lord! }
vII = \lyricmode { \once \override LyricText #'self-alignment-X = #2
"He        " is the Light! }
\score {
\new Staff {
  \time 2/4
    \relative c'' { c4 b8. a16 g2  }
}
\addlyrics { \vI }
\addlyrics { \vII }
\layout { ragged-right = ##t }
}

will give you

Just play around with the precise alignment value(s) to get what you want.

Good luck,
Kieren.
