我正在尝试在诗歌环境中使用首字下沉。我手动操作时或多或少取得了成功：
\documentclass{book}
\usepackage{verse,anyfontsize}
\begin{document}
\begin{verse}
\hspace{22pt}his is line 1 of the verse.\\
\vspace{-8pt}{\fontsize{28}{30}\selectfont T}\hspace{2pt}This is line 2 of the verse.\\
Here is the third line.\\
And the fourth and final.
This is line 1 of the verse.\\
This is line 2 of the verse.\\
Here is the third line.\\
And the fourth and final.
\end{verse}
\end{document}
但是，如果我使用不同的字母作为首字下沉，则所有水平间距都需要通过目测进行更改。如果我更改文档中的字体大小（这会改变行距），则上面的垂直间距也需要通过目测进行更改。
有没有更好的方法？比如使用不同的字母（如首字下沉）或不同的字体大小不会让一切变得混乱？欢迎提出任何建议。
答案1
在这里，我刚刚构思了自己的版本，似乎很管用。以 开始这节诗，并将\startverse{}{}诗节的前两行作为参数。确保\\在 之后放置\startverse。
我确实将 a 硬连线minipage到 4in，这是可以更改的。除了适用于内联字体大小更改（如图所示）外，还已确认这适用于设置为 10pt - 12pt 的文档。
编辑以处理唯一的通用下行字符：字母“Q”。我还根据 OP 的评论重新编辑以处理彩色和左偏移通用字符。请注意，我将偏移量设为字母宽度的一小部分，而不是固定量。我在代码中保留了两种形式（一种有注释），以防 OP 希望使用固定偏移量。
\documentclass[12pt]{book}
\usepackage{scalerel}
\usepackage{stackengine}
\usepackage{verse,anyfontsize}
\usepackage{xcolor}
\def\startverse#1#2{%
\begin{minipage}{4in}%
\firstline#1\relax%
\def\verselineB{#2}%
\if Q\versalletter\def\descstrut{\strut}\else\def\descstrut{}\fi%
\def\Versal{\textcolor{red}{%

{\def\stacktype{L}\stackon{T\descstrut}{T}}}}%
\setbox0=\hbox{\Versal\,}%

\def\firstline#1#2\relax{\def\versalletter{#1}\def\verselineA{#2}}
\begin{document}
\begin{verse}
\startverse
{This is line 1 of my newly formed verse.}
{The second is nicely tucked in.}\\
Here is the third line, it is not quite so terse\\
and the fourth line is not quite its twin.
\startverse
{Queerly, the Q is a versal descender.}%
{If fully set, it would interfere.}\\
With a strut I will staunchly defend her\\
descending not fully, it suffers so here.
\scriptsize\startverse
{And this is line 1 of my scriptsiz-ed verse.}
{Good things are often quite small.}\\
I once wed a sweet, blonde-headed night nurse\\
only five feet and four inches tall.
\tiny\startverse
{Only this is yet smaller; ever so tiny.}
{You may need your spectacles on.}\\
Without them you could become quite whiney.\\
and that is the end of my song.
\end{verse}
\end{document}
先前答案的一部分：
对于那些不喜欢将前两行放在括号中的人来说，这种方法就足够了。
