Hello… not sure what I’ve done here… in this particular document, Lyric line 1, 2, 3, and 4 all seem to be at the same height. I also thought something might be amiss when I entered the first line… the text is awfully close to the bottom line of the staff. Where do I find the settings for the distance of lyrics, and whever else may be causing this?
Another oddity… if it is of any help… I noticed if I set the lyric to ‘above’ that it, well, isn’t actually going where I would expect it to.
Can you attach the project itself here? Unfortunately, diagnosing peculiar behaviours using only pictures is beyond us. Particularly in the days following an update when there is much more traffic than usual on the forum, it’s a good idea to try and make it as easy as possible for us to help you if you want efficient assistance.
Cut the project down to just a few bars that repoduce the issue (save a copy, delete all extraneous flows, delete all players but this one, or perhaps even use File > Export > Flows to export just one flow and one layout) and attach the project here, and we’ll be glad to take a look.
Thanks very much for attaching the project. I don’t think you’ve done anything wrong here – this looks like a regression that we’ll need to investigate. Sorry for the inconvenience!
I wonder if you ever found fix for this. I am having the same issue in a percussion part with lyrics. I can get the handle to appear, but I can not move it vertically, either with the mouse or with arrows.
I’m having this same issue. I am unable to manually adjust the vertical position of any lyrics.
In Engrave mode, I can adjust the horizontal position both through dragging and with the Offset setting. However, I cannot drag vertically and the Y value for Offset has no effect.
By default my lyrics overlapped with note stems hanging down. I solved that by adjusting the minimum distance from staff in Engraving Options > Lyrics > Vertical Position. The other vertical position options are not having any effect for me.
As I reread the earlier posts, I realized that they’re both working on percussion parts. I’m using the lyrics to write stickings on a drum set part. Maybe this has something to do with lyrics on percussion parts?
I also just updated to 5.1. Thanks for the assistance.
Welcome to the forum, @malloyca. I’m very sorry for the inconvenience caused by this regression in Dorico 5.1. We will issue a fix for this problem as soon as possible.
I’ve noticed this problem as I’ve tried making percussion stickings for my students. @jbegin@malloyca when you say it’s been resolved by the recent update, are you able to adjust the lyrics vertically? I have the most recent update, but I still cannot move the lyrics.
