Re: Stanza numbering looks ugly

[Dominic Neumann]

Hi,

I still have the problem with the stanza numbers that are written on
top of other lyrics. Is there a way to solve this automatically?

Or: How can I increase the space between two notehead or between a
notehead and a barline respectively?

Hi,

I´m trying to typeset songs with different verses. When the refrain
comes before the verses, the stanza numbers don´t get enough place.
They are printed right onto the last syllables of the refrain. Where
can I find some help in the manual? I couldn´t find the right place -
or maybe you can help?

Example code:


%%% BEGIN %%%
\version "2.10.20"

refrain = \lyricmode {
   \set stanza = "Refr. "
   this is a test, yes "it´s" a test
}
verseOne = \lyricmode {
   \set stanza = "1. "
   verse num -- ber one will soon be gone
}
verseTwo = \lyricmode {
   \set stanza = "2. "
   verse num -- ber two da dee da doo
}

refrSkip = { \repeat unfold 8 { \skip 4 } }
\score {
   {
       <<
       \relative c'' {

           g4 g g g | a a a a |

           b b b b | d c d c

           \bar "|."
       }
       \addlyrics { \refrain \verseOne }
       \addlyrics { \refrSkip \verseTwo }
       >>
   }
}
%%% END %%%

As an attachment you can find the output.
