I didn't know that - thanks for the hint! so I added the relevant definitions from gregorian.ly: #(define (add-prefix-to-lyrics prefix music) (let ((found? #f)) (map-some-music (lambda (m) (if found? m (and (music-is-of-type? m 'lyric-event) (begin (set! (ly:music-property m 'text) (string-append prefix (ly:music-property m 'text))) (set! found? #t) m)))) music))) responsum = #(define-music-function (parser location music) (ly:music?) (add-prefix-to-lyrics "℟" music)) the responsum as defined in that function is prefixed to a syllable but Matthew wants it at the end. here I added an invisible note and dummy text: \new Staff << \new Voice = "sopranos" \relative f { \cadenzaOn a'1 b4 a \bar "|" g2 a \hideNotes g64 % <-- \bar "||" } \new Lyrics \lyricsto "sopranos" { \set stanza = "1." one two three four five \responsum "" % <-- } >> is there a straighter way? thanks Eluze -- View this message in context: http://lilypond.1069038.n5.nabble.com/Stanza-or-similar-at-the-end-of-a-line-tp139513p139663.html Sent from the User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
