Yes, you did indeed miss the ignoreMelismata setting, which is described in the documentation: http://kainhofer.com/~lilypond/Documentation/user/lilypond/Stanzas.html#Stanzas-with-different-rhythms For an example, see my typeset of Beethoven's arrangement of "O sanctissima" on CPDL: http://choralwiki.net/wiki/index.php/O_Sanctissima_(Traditional) I printed all the slurs solid in this piece, but in other pieces (which are not freely available), I also used a \slurDotted ...\slurSolid for those stanza-dependent slurs. But the ignoreMelismata setting in the lyrics is always the same. Cheers, Reinhold PS: Note that the comment in the documentation about the setting applying only to the second next syllable ("fas" in this case), is actually no longer true in LilyPond 2.11.x. The setting now applies to the very next lyrics syllable already! - -- - ------------------------------------------------------------------ Reinhold Kainhofer, Vienna University of Technology, Austria email: [EMAIL PROTECTED], http://reinhold.kainhofer.com/ * Financial and Actuarial Mathematics, TU Wien, http://www.fam.tuwien.ac.at/ * K Desktop Environment, http://www.kde.org, KOrganizer maintainer * Chorvereinigung "Jung-Wien", http://www.jung-wien.at/ -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFJKu7qTqjEwhXvPN0RAj3tAJ0alVoZSuvMHn4HqHyPzUWNewqz7gCeL+d/ jtTkzIDGnyNBBk4R3s+7klk= =2Zhs -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
