Last weekend I was entering a song into Lilypond. It's four parts, SATB, and has two verses. The verses scan very slightly differently. There is a measure in the music where there are two slurred halfnotes. In one verse, one syllable is stretched over both half-notes. The other verse has an extra syllable, so there's a separate syllable for each halfnote.
Lilypond's ability to match lyrics with music is absolutely fantastic, but it apparently doesn't handle this scenario. I wound up having one verse matched automatically, and assigning a duration to *every* syllable in the other verse. I'm wondering whether I missed something that would have let me say "do the automatic match, but in this measure do it this way". -- Tim Slattery [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://members.cox.net/slatteryt _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
