Hi,
I'd like to dig myself into the C++ source of LilyPond.
I have a long-wished feature, for support automatic lyric contraction.
That means the following:
When there is not enough space for a hyphen to appear, the hyphen is
removed. Like instead of "yeah - yeah - yeah", "yeah yeah yeah". In
these cases I would like LilyPond to automatically contract it to
"yeahyeah - yeah", moving the syllables, taking kerning into account.
Do you think it is feasible without major rewrite? I do see some
callback to the lyric syllable in the hyphen engraver, but I'm not sure
about it.
(Also, for some languages contraction would change the spelling, e.g. in
German c-k may become kk, Hungarian sz-sz becomes ssz. But that's
another story.)
Bert
