I don't like the hymn.ly template, and I have tryed to create a real
hymn score on lilypond 2.4, but I have some difficulties:
- How can I put the lyrics between the Treble and Bass clef?
- How can I adjust the spacement between stanzas?
- What's the best way to put a centered Refrain?
- Why lilypond doesn't put the lyrics corretly, when I use <<{...}\\{...}>> ?
- If it's possible (or more easy), where I get this explanations on manual?
Below, an hymn example (Near the Cross) where occours this problems:
