Hi,
For many years I have used the documented instructions to italicize
lyrics,
e.g.
\score {
<<
\new Lyrics \with {
\override LyricText.font-shape = #'italic
\override LyricText.self-alignment-X = #LEFT
}
{ \dialogue }
\new Staff {
\new Voice { \music }
}
(example from 2.18 notation reference)
However, font-shape is no longer listed as an interface for LyricText and
this instruction appears to be ignored. If it's been removed
intentionally,
is there a replacement or workaround?
Thanks,
Paul
This code:
music = \relative {
{ a'4 a a a }
}
dialogue = \lyricmode {la la la la }
}
\score {
<<
\new Lyrics \with {
\override LyricText.font-shape = #'italic
\override LyricText.self-alignment-X = #LEFT
}
{ \dialogue }
\new Staff {
\new Voice { \music }
}
}
Gives the attached italicised lyrics. Also, since the examples in the NR
are italicised, it means the command must work. Perhaps your installed fonts
have changed?
