Hello everyone!

I hope everyone who celebrated Thanksgiving had a wonderful time.

My question is how is the line spacing (leading) controlled for the verses in a hymn? The specifications I have are a 10pt font for the lyrics, with a 12pt leading (text baseline to text baseline spacing). I've attached a picture below.

After some searching on the Internet, and looking at the LyricsText engraver, I was not able to find anything; VerticalAxisGroup.nonstaff-relatedstaff-spacing.padding definitely was not it.

For lyric font size control, I'm using this gem:

For setting the lyric text, I'm using nested parallel sections, as outlined in

And the code of interest


Many thanks,
mattfong
