Hi Alexander,
where is this from: conditional-kill-lyric-extender-callback?
Does it have any drawback?
Hi Joram,
glad it helped. It seems that I wrote it, probably modeled after a
suggestion by Kieren:
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-user/2012-06/msg00326.html
I'm genuinely surprised to rediscover my authorship there...
I'm not aware of any drawbacks, but I though the same from the lyric
hyphen snippet...
It is a perfect solution for a problem I had for quite some time:
In chorales (4 voices, mostly homophone), I often have common lyrics but
sometimes different melismata. So just because of one or two __, I have
to duplicate the lyrics up to four times or put several tags in there.
This conditional killing of the extender line allows to enter the __ in
the common lyrics and in all voices without melisma, it is removed
automatically. Very nice.
Sound perfectly valid. Never thought of it, despite the fact that I was
often annoyed by copy-pasting lyrics. But it should work like a charm.
Would it be possible to have automatic extender lines? For every melisma
there is an extender line if it would be longer than the minimum-length?
Hm. Iterate over lyrics and add Extender events for each syllable
without a hyphen? Sounds reasonable...
Cheers,
Alexander
