Re: Prevent lyrics from running over bar lines

[Vladimír Slávik]

Leo, thank you, that did it!

And of course that was also the place to put the override for lyrics alignment, so that's solved (for me) too.

Best,

Vladimir

However after trying 2.22.0 on the same files and fixing the lyrics alignment for these "wordy" notes, the lyrics regularly run over the bar line "boundary" and into space under the next bar. I don't want that. How can I prevent this?
