I've been trying to use the automaticPhrasing option by following
inputs/test/lyric-phrasing.ly, and have a few questions about it. There
seems to be some significance to the names "VA-2" (etc):
\context LyricVoice = "VA-2"
...since if I change this name, it no longer does the phrasing stuff. Why
is this?
Secondly, in the attached file, the first verse gives all sorts of strange
errors, and doesn't display properly. This is true regardless of which
verse I place first, so it's not a typo in the verse. I can fix this by
changing the names of the LyricVoice's to something other than VA-etc, but
then I don't get the phrasing. It looks like the answer to this problem is
closely related to the answer to the first question.
Thanks for all the wonderful work on lily!
