Thanks, I missed that somehow. Because LP now¹ sets lyrics by default with the syllables centre-aligned except for melismas, where they're left-aligned, there's no real point in introducing this construct in the Learning Manual when almost nobody will need it. Yes, definitely not in the Leaning Manual. I hope you don't mind my asking why you want always left-aligned. It's quite unusual in my experience. I'm doing this for someone who specifically requested it. In my own experience it's not uncommon in places like hymn books, especially where you have multiple lines of text per stave (verses; or in this case, different language translations) because the word syllable lengths per note can be very varied, and it makes it easier to sing from. ¹ the old behaviour, as in 2.18.2, was to set unassociated lyrics having manual durations as left-aligned. I always assumed it was just an oversight awaiting correction, though I could be wrong. I think it may be established practice in some less-common fields. But no matter, LP triumphs again :-) P

Word alignment
Is it possible in lilypond to have the words of the lyrics aligned so the start of the word is under the note or group, rather than centered? I didn't see anything in 'Aligning lyrics to a melody'. The discussion at http://lilypond.1069038.n5.nabble.com/Left-align-first-word-of-lyrics-td146080.html is interesting, but the OP wanted multi-line lyrics left-aligned to themselves, but still centered under the note (and only for the first word). What I'm looking for is both notes and words to be left-aligned always. Peter

Words under notes with dashed slur
I am trying to do a single-stave (voice) score with words in two
languages. In one measure, I have a dotted crochet tied to a quaver with
a dashed slur because it is sung to two syllables in one language but
only one syllable in the other language.
If I use \addlyrics{ Foo- bar}, the "Foo-" gets positioned under the
whole slurred phrase (both notes) and the 'bar' gets positioned under
the following note. If I use \addlyrics{Foo-bar}, the hyphenated words
gets positioned under the whole slurred phrase, which actually comes out
almost right, but it would be nicer to have it separated.
In the translation, the single syllable of course is positioned
correctly under the slurred phrase.
Is there a way to indicate that a part of a word must be assigned to an
individual note of a slurred phrase? There seems to be a lot in the
archives on slurs (actually ties) under or over the words themselves,
but I can't find anything on assigning word to notes (but I'm a
beginner, so I am probably searching for the wrong keywords).

Cool. I hadn't even looked at what setup.exe did, as I don't have any Windows systems.

Installing from downloaded files or CD
I want to install lilypond for a colleague who only has a 14.4Mb/s dial-up connection (don't ask!). Can I download the relevant files on my (faster) connection, burn a CD, and install them on the target machine? Presumably this means a copy of Cygwin plus a .tar.gz of lilypond, but what else? As an afterthought, if a system already has TeX Live installed, will lilypond use this, or has it forked away? ///Peter ___ lilypond-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
