So your view is that lyric ties are not used in the real world? No. I simply can't discuss how lyric ties should look like since I haven't seen real-world examples in the scores I've used up to now. It seems that German engraving for classical music can live without it. They're definitely used in English 16C music, although I can't find an example right now. -- Phil Holmes ___ lilypond-devel mailing list lilypond-devel@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-devel

Re: Adds a glyph for tied lyrics. (issue4808074)
I forgot these cases (o~è~in; a~è~in; o~è~an...). They are often elided ("quest'in" instead of "questa~è~in") by editors and composers. So your view is that lyric ties are not used in the real world? I still feel them as a pedagogy resource for young musicians or something. Or maybe old scores did not use them and they are now more often used. I don't know. Several famous editors use them, with no particular rule. Let's take the example of Ricordi Milano. In this score, published around 1982, there's no ties (we can see a "na è in" in the beginning): http://petrucci.mus.auth.gr/imglnks/usimg/2/20/IMSLP81325-PMLP165637-la_danza.pdf In this one, published around 1925, we can find ties (and it's not a beginner score!): http://216.129.110.22/files/imglnks/usimg/2/29/IMSLP80146-PMLP162554-Vivaldi_-_Agitata_da_due_venti__Griselda_.pdf In every recent score I have from them, they always use ties. Those which were done using traditional engraving as those using Finale. I will have to do a better patch... http://codereview.appspot.com/4808074/ ___ lilypond-devel mailing list lilypond-devel@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-devel

I can't find it now, but I definitely remember having seen three syllables in a soprano aria (I think it was Italian). It was something like "-- to e in". Unfortunately, I really can't find it any more. I thought it was in Rossini's Stabat Mater, but that was wrong.

Re: Adds a glyph for tied lyrics. (issue4808074)
Secondly, it does not follow the policy for syllable separator, which is '[space]--[space]', not '-[space]'. I already fixed it in this patch (for every language). Finally, 2nd and 3rd stanzas look _very_ improbable to me in that it has three syllables on a single note, which requires two lyric ties. o~y is a synalepha and it could be a in-word diphthong, y~ho is another synalepha, but o~y~ho is not a triphthong and can not be a three-vowel synalepha. If nobody finds a real example in literature, I suggest to remove the problematic case, it is too artificial.

Re: Adds a glyph for tied lyrics. (issue4808074)
So do I, but a shorter tie would collide with commas. The best solution is probably to shorten the tie and lower it according to the Y-extent of the covered letters. But this requires much more work. Maybe having two sizes of lyric ties would also be a good idea: a short one and the default one.
