Title: song with 5 verses; 1 refrain
Post by: Marianne van Harten on 2014-09-19 07:30 AM
I have a song (5 verses).
The song has a refrain (same words) which I places at verse 1.
The distance between the staffs in the refrain is large, because there is only 1 text line. How do I decrease the the distance?

Inserted boundary changes:
|Boundary|Style:NewSize|Upper:6|Lower:8
and
|Boundary|Style:NewSize|Upper:6|Lower:26

I moved the refrain to verse 5 so it would line up OK, but it will chase the last time through instead of the first...  It would be possible to mess around with it so it is still the first verse but on another staff, but I'll leave that to you.

What are the corresponding commands in the NWC program?
Do you set these commands in the staffs 3 and 4?

In this case they are only on the top staff because that is the staff with the problem.

The command is |Insert|Boundary Change.  Or the ] key.
