Quoting Marco Gusy <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
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.
By default, LilyPond supports the opposite, namely that when you use \lyricsto it interprets all manually inserted beams as melismas and only attach one syllable to each beam. /Mats
Can you check some Bärenreiter score? Thanks Marco
