Re: Lyrics clash with volta bar in StaffGroup

[Jonathan Scholbach]

I think that

\once\override LyricText.self-alignment-X = #LEFT

is a rather uncomely workaround, since the change of the relation between note and lyrics is very striking to the eye, and one might wonder about the meaning of this change, where there is no such meaning.

Anyway, your answer, Pierre, pointed me into the right direction: I now override the X-offset of the whole note (see the MWE below). Since the lyrics are aligned with the note, that override avoids the clash as well, and without affecting the alignment of the lyrics along the note. Now I am able to avoid each clash manually. So now a function would be perfect, which performed this override automatically after every volta. Can somebody tell me how to do that? (I think this function would be worth adding to the standard behaviour of StaffGroup, wouldn't it?)

this is the MWE:

\version "2.19.22"

alignNotesAfterVolta = \once \override NoteColumn.X-offset = #2

text = \lyricmode { Text. Text as well }

music = \relative c' {
  \repeat volta 2 {
    e1  
  }
   \alignNotesAfterVolta
   c4 d e2
}

\score{
  \new StaffGroup <<
    \new Staff <<
      \new Voice ="one" { \music }
    >>
    \new Lyrics \lyricsto "one" { \text }
    \new Staff <<
      \new Voice ="two" { \music }
    >>
    \new Lyrics \lyricsto "two" { \text }
  >>
}

Hi Jonathan,

See: http://lsr.di.unimi.it/LSR/Item?id=282

And: http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.18/Documentation/notation/techniques-specific-to-lyrics#placing-syllables-horizontally

So haw about:

\version "2.19"

align = \once\override LyricText.self-alignment-X = #LEFT

text = \lyricmode {
  Text. \align Text as well
}

music = \relative c' {
  \repeat volta 2 {
    e1
  }
  c4 d e2
}

\score{
  \new StaffGroup <<
    \new Staff <<
      \new Voice ="one" { \music }
    >>
    \new Lyrics \lyricsto "one" { \text }
    \new Staff <<
      \new Voice ="two" { \music }
    >>
    \new Lyrics \lyricsto "two" { \text }
  >>
}

Cheers,

Pierre

Hi guys,

I have a problem with lyrics in a StaffGroup. I would like to set a
choral piece in a StaffGroup-Environment. When there is a volta the
lyrics will be printed too closely to the volta bar. Can you tell me how
to change this without manually adjusting the lyrics at every single
occurence of a volta? If there is no such general approach, how would I
adjust the lyrics manually?

My minimum example is:

\version "2.19.22"

text = \lyricmode { Text. Text as well }

music = \relative c' {
  \repeat volta 2 {
    e1
  }
  c4 d e2
}

\score{
  \new StaffGroup <<
    \new Staff <<
      \new Voice ="one" { \music }
    >>
    \new Lyrics \lyricsto "one" { \text }
    \new Staff <<
      \new Voice ="two" { \music }
    >>
    \new Lyrics \lyricsto "two" { \text }
  >>
}

Thank you for your help!

Jonathan
