# Vertical space between lyrics in MusixTeX

How to adjust vertical space between the two lyrics lines? I want them to seperate a little bit. This segment is from the documentation of musixlyr

\begin{music}
\input musixlyr
\large\setlyrstrut
\resetlyrics
\setlyrics{Winter1}{Win-ter a-de\rlap{,} a-ber dein Schei-den macht\rlap{,}}
\setlyrics{Winter2}{schei-den tut weh\rlap,}
\assignlyrics1{Winter1,Winter2}
\generalmeter{\meterfrac34}
\generalsignature2
\setsongraise1{-2mm}
\startextract
\NOtes\qa{ffe}\en\bar
\NOTesp\hup d\en\rightrepeat
\assignlyrics1{Winter1}%
\NOtes\qa{fgh}\en\bar
\NOtes\qa h\en
\Notes\beginmel\Ibu0gf1\qb0g\endmel\tqh0f\en
\NOtes\qa g\en
\endextract
\end{music}


Update: in case you need a complete source, you can use simply pdflatex to compile it

\documentclass[a4paper,11pt]{article}
\usepackage{musixtex}

\begin{document}
\begin{music}
\input musixlyr
\large\setlyrstrut
\resetlyrics
\setlyrics{Winter1}{Win-ter a-de\rlap{,} a-ber dein Schei-den macht\rlap{,}}
\setlyrics{Winter2}{schei-den tut weh\rlap,}
\assignlyrics1{Winter1,Winter2}
\generalmeter{\meterfrac34}
\generalsignature2
\setsongraise1{-2mm}
\startextract
\NOtes\qa{ffe}\en\bar
\NOTesp\hup d\en
\endextract
\end{music}
\end{document}


• You will increase your chances of getting a timely and good answer by providing us with a complete example, which starts with \documentclass and ends with \end{document}. – marmot Mar 24 at 2:45

Adapting code from the musictex manual, you can set the \lyrstrutbox instead of using \setlyrstrut. Here is an exaggerated version:

\setbox\lyrstrutbox=\vbox to 4.3\Interligne{}


\documentclass[a4paper,11pt]{article}
\usepackage{musixtex}

\begin{document}
\begin{music}
\input musixlyr
\setbox\lyrstrutbox=\vbox to 4.3\Interligne{}
\resetlyrics
\setlyrics{Winter1}{Win-ter a-de\rlap{,} a-ber dein Schei-den macht\rlap{,}}
\setlyrics{Winter2}{schei-den tut weh\rlap,}
\assignlyrics1{Winter1,Winter2}
\generalmeter{\meterfrac34}
\generalsignature2
\setsongraise1{-2mm}
\startextract
\NOtes\qa{ffe}\en\bar
\NOTesp\hup d\en
\endextract
\end{music}
\end{document}
