<snip>

I'm not sure if this is a bug (I didn't find any it in the bug list).

Anyway, I'd like to avoid this bad spacing. Any idea how to?

 

CS->  I eliminated it by using \addlyrics.  I have found \addlyrics to be difficult enough to use properly that I exclusively use \lyricsto

 

%%

\version "2.20.0"

 

%% just a line to show the horizontal spacing:

redline = \markup {

  \with-color #red

  \with-dimensions-from \null

  \translate #'(.6 . -15)

  \draw-line #'(0 . 25)

}

%%%

\score {

  <<

<<

  { \voiceOne c'' 4 4 4  \new Voice { \voiceOne c''4 4 4 } 4 4 } \\

  { \voiceTwo c'4 4 4 4-\redline 4 4 4-\redline 4 }

>> 

 

\new Staff = Portee <<

  {

    \voiceOne c'' 4 4 4

      \new Voice = "lyrvoice" { \voiceOne c''4 4 4 }

     % \addlyrics  \with { alignAboveContext = "Portee" } { la la la }

    4 4 } \\

  { \voiceTwo c'4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 }

>> 

  \new Lyrics  \with {alignAboveContext = "Portee"} 

    \lyricsto "lyrvoice" { la la la }

 

 

  >>

  }

\layout {

  \context {

    \Voice

    \override NoteColumn.force-hshift = 0 % <= no effect

  }

  \context {

    \Lyrics

    \override LyricText.font-size = #-10 % <= no effect

  }

}

%%%

 

 

HTH,
