Aloha.
I'm working on transcribing the sheet music for Wooden Ships (Crosby,
Stills, Kantner) into LP as a learning exercise for myself. I'm
self-taught in reading music so pls forgive blunders (but also pls point
them out).
I'm having trouble aligning the lyrics with the beaming structure of the
published sheet music. The only method that seems to allow me to get
the desired alignment is to connect the syllables with underscores and
that seems like a big kluge.
Maybe I'm missing some option to allow lyrics to align with beamed and
slurred notes within a beam and/or slur?
My understanding is that the default behavior is to align syllables on
the first note of the beam rather than on the notes within a beam. Not
sure if that's correct.
Mahalo.
J.
