Hi all,
In the following snippet, you can see a [minor] effect of one of the [major]
lyric text problems that Janek was hoping to fix with his GSoC work, and a
partial quick-and-dirty hack:
\version "2.17.8"
eighthNotes = \relative c' {
\time 12/8
\repeat "unfold" 9 { c8 } c4 r8
}
syllables = \lyricmode {
Here is a test, but it’s on -- ly a test.
}
\score {
<<
\new Voice \eighthNotes
\addlyrics \syllables
>>
}
\score {
<<
\new Voice \eighthNotes
\addlyrics \syllables
>>
\layout {
\context {
\Score
\override LyricText #'X-extent = #'(-1.55 . 1.55)
}
}
}
Now I would love a callback function which would set the LyricText back "where
it should be" (i.e., centred if not the first syllable of a melisma,
left-aligned otherwise). Can this be done automatically, maybe via a Scheme
engraver? Can the whole thing be automated (i.e., every measure of music is
spaced evenly based on the largest necessary LyricText X-extent, then the
LyricText grobs are put back "where they should be")?
Thanks,
Kieren.
