I have successfully imported a choral score into Dorico from an xml. file. However, in many places the imported lyrics are placed much lower than they should be, so that there is quite a large gap between them and the notes above them. Is there presently any way of adjusting them? Or do I have to strip out all the lyrics and re-insert them? Here is an example of what I mean:
Your example looks like the default minimum distance of 2 1/2 spaces. If you enter a smaller value, the distance will get smaller. A least in my examples it does …
Thank you. You are right; I had altered the minimum distance from other objects, but not the minimum distance from the stave. I changed the latter from 2½ spaces to 1 space and it has much improved the layout. I must practise more with Dorico!
