Thanks Harm. That did the trick. However, I concur with Trevor about the
confusing difference compared to Lyrics. I assumed that they'd work the
same way so I did not occur to me to try the \layout block. If it /is/ an
intended behaviour, there should probably be a note that the settings won't
work with \with { }.
