All,
This snippet produces output where the final word of the opening bar is positioned below the first double-bar and not before it. The problem is this type of music, an Anglican Preces and Responses. The officiant chants the text on a reciting tone (the e-flat whole note in bar 1) and thus the entire text must be engraved below that note. I've used both "text in quotes" and text_with_underlines and LP engraves them in the way this snippet shows.
In the entire Preces and Responses this "word engraved below or after the double-bar" occurs three times.
