Hi, I would like to hear what you think about lilypond and beaming in vocal music. I'm quite sure it's common in traditional engraving to beam together only notes of a melisma. The rule is: two syllabes never are beamed together. I attach a picture as an example. This is Bach Magnificat, the "Ma -- -- -- -- " is beamed, but the "gni -- fi -- cat" isn't. When I code choral music with lilypond i fell like doing the same work twice (manual beam, and enter lyrics), maybe lilypond should beam following the text.
Can you check some Bärenreiter score? Thanks Marco
