Cannot use italics for lyrics text

[Thomas Chardin]

Hi,

Using the code below I manage to change the global font and size. The stanza
number color is also applied but the italics shape asked is not applied, without
any error message. Does someone have any idea why this is not working?

My code is:

\version "2.14.2"

%%snip: page variables

sopWords = \lyricmode {
  \override StanzaNumber #'color = #(rgb-color .72 .13 .06)
  \set stanza = "1."
  %%snip: lyrics text
}

bassMusic = {
  %%snip: music
}

\score {
  \new ChoirStaff <<
    %%snip: other staves
    \new Lyrics = "sopranos" << s1 >>
    \new Staff <<
      \new Voice = "basses" << \global \bassMusic >> >>
    \context Lyrics = sopranos \lyricsto basses \sopWords >>

  \layout {
    \context {  
      \Lyrics
      \override LyricSpace #'minimum-distance = #1.0
      \override LyricText #'font-name = #"Adobe Garamond Pro"
      \override LyricText #'font-size = #2
      \override LyricText #'font-shape = #'italic
    }
  }
}

Thanks in advance,


Thomas C.
