Re: reciting text over line breaks

[Michael Gerdau]

Hi Benjamin,

assuming you have your music in a varible called e.g. \music you simply
put your verses like shown below and combine them as with any other
score. That should give you the desired result.

verse = \lyricmode {
  It \once \override LyricText.self-alignment-X = #LEFT "is truly right
and just,"
  \once \override LyricText.self-alignment-X = #LEFT "our duty and"
  our sal -- va -- tion,
  a -- \once \override LyricText.self-alignment-X = #LEFT "ways and"
  \once \override LyricText.self-alignment-X = #LEFT "everywhere to"
  give you thanks,
  Lord, \once \override LyricText.self-alignment-X = #LEFT "holy Father,
almighty and e" -- ver -- last -- ing
}

HTH,
Michael
