I do have a problem with the right place of lyrics

• Jun 14, 2019 - 08:33

If I place text under the notes, it is not aligned properly. I tried aligning left and center, also with a different font, but without the desired result. Can I set this offense differently for a better result?

I hope someone can give me a good advice. Thanks in advance.

PS. In the score it looks like this;

What alignment exactly is bothering you?

Just take the default alignment, which is centered (and left for melisma)

Or is it about the syllables with a verse number? If so see #279770: lyrics align is wrong on lyrics containing numbers and space

I think it's something like...
Measure 3: Christa
Measure 4: hopeis
Measure 9: throughthe
Measure 11: Whatheights
Measure 12: whatdepthsof
Measure 20: Whotookin
Measure 22: Godinhelp (especially compare B/T staff to S staff and A staff)
etc.

So increase the min lyrics distance (default is 0.0, for some strange reason)
Format > Style... > Lyrics > Min. distance

Yes, that is the right solution, much better than the one I proposed below, which was much more complicated.
I didn't know that setting. Thank you!!!

@martdullens "Now let's find the right place for the correct settings for the text. :-)"

Menu path in MuseScore 3.1: Format > Style > Lyrics > Lyrics Text > Min. distance

Hi, so you did. But may I still ask you a question?

I'm work with a Dutch version and my setting about staff text and song(lyrics)text are these like in the two examples below. Are these the right settings? Or is there a different place?

One's again thanks in advance for you support.
