Huh? You _never_ "need" a barcheck since the association with time, score, voices etc _always_ happens automagically. Aren't you missing the whole point of barchecks? The idea is to have a check for the music still being synchronized with the measures, in order to be able to figure out where one forget or added a beat accidentally without having to read the whole output score. That is particularly important when using \addlyrics (I get the lyrics timing wrong much more often at first try than I get the note timing wrong). > - \addlyrics will also recognize rests which you do not have to code > in your lyric voice! > > if you really want to insert manual durations with lyrics you probably > should use an explicit lyric voice, e.g.: What makes you think he wants "to insert manual durations"? He does _not_, I repeat _not_ insert any manual duration in his example. Which illustrates a very good point. \addlyrics should really _store_ all the barchecks, and "execute" them _after_ associating the lyrics with a voice, once the timing is established. I am surprised that it doesn't, and would count that as a bug. -- David Kastrup _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
