I'm trying to use the font-shape property to italicize every other verse in a piece with 8 verses. This is commonly done in some hymnals, and I find it helps to find the right verse when you move to the next line.
The problem is that lily seems to apply the property vertically -- that is, if words in one verse are italicized, the same syllables in all the other verses are italicized. This defeats the purpose of what I'm trying to do. I've attached a simple example cribbed from input/test/caps.ly:
italic.ly

What I'm trying to do is to get Buddha to be italicised, but Krishna to remain roman. Is there some other way to set the property so that it applies to only this verse, and not to all the lyrics? -- Laura (mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] , http://www.laymusic.org/ ) (617) 661-8097 fax: (801) 365-6574 233 Broadway, Cambridge, MA 02139
