Hi list,
Is it possible to automatically left align the first word of multiple line
lyrics ? By default the lyrics are all centered under the note, which is
okay in most situations, but perhaps not optimal for the first word of a
staff. For example, the words "Ccc", "Cc" and "C" are centered under the
c note with the following code:
\score {
\new Staff <<
\new Voice = A { \relative c' { c d e f } }
\new Lyrics \lyricsto A { Ccc ddd eee fff }
\new Lyrics \lyricsto A { Cc dd ee ff }
\new Lyrics \lyricsto A { C d e f }
>>
}
I know that it is possible to move a particular word by hand with "\once
\override LyricText #'self-alignment-X = #...". This solution is however
not only painful to type in, but its result is also most often only
approximately correct.
Many thanks in advance,
Gregory
