Equal spacing of notes in a bar

2015-08-24 Thread William Marchant 
I have looked though the documentation without finding what I need. The 
attached code gives me a triplet whose notes are spaced according to the 
words.  I would like to equalize  the spacing between the notes.  Is 
there a snippet I have missed, or some technique that will provide this?

Bill

\version "2.18.2"
global = {
  \language "english"
  \key bf \major
  \time 3/4
}
melody = \relative c' {
\tuplet 3/2 { bf8 c d }  c2 |
}
  VerseOne = \lyricmode {
  Give me a big
  }
 \score {
  \new ChoirStaff <<
\new Staff <<
  \new Voice = "Song" {
\global
\melody
  }
  \new Lyrics \lyricsto "Song" {
\VerseOne
  }
>>
  >>
  \layout {
\context {
  \Score
}
  }
}

Hi Bill,

‘proportional notation’ is the magic word:

Thanks to Simon and Abraham.  I found the quoted reference on my own, 
but I need something which can be applied to  several single bars 
throughout the music.  It is the lyrics which are distorting just a few 
bars.  I had hoped there would be a snippet I am unable to find.  Is 
there one?  TIA.

Maybe \newSpacingSection would serve?

There are several issues in our tracker concerned with the shortcomings 
of Lily’s current behaviour, since indeed note spacing should only in 
extreme cases by distorted by lyrics. What can be done?

– Choose a narrower font for lyrics.
– Play with LyricText.self-alignment-X, e.g. (gross exaggeration :-))
%%%
\version "2.18.2"

selfAl = #(define-music-function (parser location num) (number?)
#{ \once \override LyricText . self-alignment-X  = $num #})

mus = { g'8 f'8 e'8 }
text = \lyricmode { \selfAl 1.2 straight straight \selfAl #-1 straight }

\score {
  <<
\mus
\addlyrics \text
  >>
}
%

– choose a wider horizontal spacing in general, either through the 
methods in 


– or by ‘brute force’: something like \paper { system-count = 10 }.
