LaTeX forum ⇒ Text Formatting ⇒ xytree enumerate top alignment Topic is solved

[Linguist]

Hello,

I'm now using xytree to make autosegmental diagrams, which is great, However, when I want to enumerate my examples the number appears below the diagram.

So I did what every good LaTeX user should do, and I consulted the xytree documentation in which a solution for this problem involving \leavevmode is given. This solution works...

...but, the number is aligned with the bottom tier of the diagram when I want the number aligned with the top tier of the diagram. How can this be achieved?

Here's a MWE; showing spreading of vowel features in Rotuman. (In case you're wondering.)

\documentclass[a4paper,12pt]{report}
  \usepackage{xytree}
 
\begin{document}
  \enumerate{
   \item{\leavevmode
    \xy
     <7em,0pt>*\asrnode{\textsc{[+fr]}}="f1",
     <0pt,1cm>*\asrnode{s}="p1",

     "c8"+U;"s4"+D**\dir{-};
     \drop\frm{.}
    \endxy}
  }
\end{document}

P.S. I found the code used to compile the xytree documentation pdf to see how they got their autosegmental example (29) top aligned, but they used a macro provided by lingmacros; a package I'm not using. The code for this macro can be found by googling "cm-lingmacros" but I couldn't get it to work.

You can compensate it using \raisebox, such as

\item\raisebox{\dimexpr-\totalheight+3.2ex\relax}{\leavevmode ... }
