Hello all, A large proportion of my compositions and arrangements include voice. There are certain (one might almost say “many”) things about Lily’s vocal engraving engine that need fixing. Hence I was very excited when Janek took that part of Lily on during his Google Summer of Code stint. However, not everything that was planned for was ultimately completed; furthermore, there are things that weren’t even part of the original plan that I (and, I assume, many others) would benefit from.
I have been personally sponsoring little fixes and improvements… but it’s time to get serious about the Lyric things, because I have a HUGE engraving year ahead of me (including four complete stage musicals and two chamber operas, plus a number of choral and vocal pieces). Mike S. (who has withdrawn from circulation due to friction on the list) and Janek (who is "on sabbatical” due to physical problems) were my main sponsor-ees, so I’m reaching out in the hopes others might be available to help. The two things I need/want ASAP are 1. Notes spaced “correctly” regardless of lyrics, with the lyrics then “sliding around” to fit the notes (instead of the opposite, which is currently the case), q.v. <http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=2450>, <http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=2456>, etc. 2. LyricHyphen hara-kiri, q.v. <http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=2458> etc. Any takers? Thanks, Kieren. _______________________________________________ lilypond-devel mailing list lilypond-devel@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-devel
