First of all: notes that are tied together count as one syllable.

Thirdly: there is a way around this, if you desperately want the lyrics to end with an extender while there is still music left: use a phrasing slur "a\( a\)" instead of the tie "a ~ a". That way, the notes will be counted as two syllables, and when the extender stretches "too far" it will still stretch only as far as you want it.

Dynamics and arpeggios too close to bar lines
Hi all, It's been a while since I've been on this list, but now with a composition teacher, I'm using Lilypond regularly again. Thus, I have some questions about a few issues that have been bugging me, having to do with music elements too close to or overlapping with bar lines. This is with version 2.10.33. The first of these is arpeggios on the first note of a bar; the arpeggio squishes right up against the bar line, making it hard to read. This problem could be solved by moving to 2.11, which I just tested; however, I'd prefer to stay on the stable branch. Also, my second problem was not solved by 2.11. This relates to dynamics in the Piano centered dynamics template. Hairpins and dynamic marks tend to brush right up against, or even overlap (the mp mark is one of the worst) the bar lines. If there's one tweak involving bar lines that would solve both these problems, then that would be great; however, from a quick look at the reference docs on bar line objects, nothing was obvious. Alternatively, tweaks to the arpeggio objects or the dynamic objects would work instead. Thanks in advance guys!

Okay, my musical terms and english isn't good but I will try to explain my problem. I like to have lyrics to the notes and I'm learning this right now in Lilypond. If I want one word to sing in two different notes for example, the notes should be tied of course. But I also want something like an underscore after the word to show the reader that it shall be singed for a long time. Is this possible in Lilypond? An example in an image.

I just tried one of my choir scores (ChoirStaff with two stanzas written between the two staves for SA and TB) with the current git version. The lyrics are tied to the S voice, but in 2.10.x, the lyrics were still centered between the two staves. Now in 2.11, the lyrics seem to be glued to the SA staff (when using ragged-bottom=##f and ragged-last-bottom=##f), so they are quite far away from the TB, which make the scores absolutely unusable for choir use. Here it seems like there is more space between the staves of a system than between two systems. If the staves are not streched, then everything is just fine, only when some stretching happens, then the lyrics stay glued to the staff, and too much spacing is inserted between the staves (instead of between the systems).

As for bugs, I know there are some, but for what I use it for, they're not an issue. And they seem to get fixed quickly, so if you do happen to find one, be sure to report it. Also, from reading the user lists, there are almost always workarounds. The Lilypond Snippet Repository, the documentation (which is good and getting better) and other helpful users and developers will all help you do anything you could want to do with Lilypond. Welcome!

I would like to use a global identifier or variable for the font name, so that I can write %Definitions FontName = #"FFF" ... %The rest \override X #'font-name = \FontName This does not work, however, I tried many different configuration, also scheme music functions, nothing worked. Does anybody have an idea? Thanks!
