Nudge Lyrics Horizontally

Dorico
1

I apologize if this has been covered, but I’m not seeing a clear solution.

Is there a way to nudge individual lyrics horizontally in Dorico? (See my attached score.)

There is clearly room to make space for the lyrics. I tried setting a minimum gap between adjacent lyrics in Engraving Options, but that did not result in preventing overlaps.

Thank you!

You can certainly nudge lyrics left and right in Engrave mode simply by selecting the syllable you want to move and typing Alt+left/right. But you shouldn’t need to in this case: try setting ‘Minimum gap between adjacent lyrics’ from 1 space down to 1/4 space.

Thanks, Daniel! That solved it. You are so patient and encouraging. It’s great to be back with this team.
