Blank verses in lyrics

[Sherry C]

Hi Tim,

The spacing issue is not related to the extra "return" spacings that are sometimes present in copy/pasted in lyrics. It's an inherent spacing "buffer" that in this case is not wanted. In multi-staff compositions, standard engraving has a larger space between the bottom of lyrics and the next staff down. I'll write up a recommendation for an enhancement in the Vocal SA+TB template.

You can manually adjust the spacing between the bass clef and the bottom of the lyrics in the Layout tab. Click the Page Layout button (last one on the right), and then the "Move barlines and staves" button" (second on the left of the palette toolbar). You'll see some red "springs" on the left. With a left-click-drag of your mouse, grab the bottom square "handle" of that spring, and move it so that the bottom bass clef staff is positioned where you want it to be.

Hope this helps!
Sherry

Wow, it's a simple formatting error? I get those sometimes. Reminds me of issues I had with a Word doc. : (

Hi,

Not exactly an error, more like a "feature that is not wanted in this specific situation"
