Re: lyrics running wider than the staff

Thanks for the quick response.

I would be embarrassed to not have found that, except that it never 
occurred to me to look at the root node of the section, which doesn't 
suggest that it deals with such an odd topic.  I've wondered if it 
might be a good idea to collect settings which have global formatting 
effects into one section, or at least creating a sort of index.  As 
someone who creates thousand page documents ever other year, I can 
appreciate the difficulties ...
