Re: Explicit durations in Lyrics behaving strangely

Quoting Peter Chubb lily.u...@chubb.wattle.id.au:



Hi,
I'm trying to use the Adeste Fideles tune from
Mutopia http://www.mutopiaproject.org/cgibin/piece-info.cgi?id=367
I ran convert-ly on it.  It uses explicit durations on the lyrics.  I see
many warnings:

adeste.ly:94:18: warning: Lyric syllable does not have note. Use 
\lyricsto or associatedVoice.

   A4 -- des2 --
 te,4 fi -- del2 -- es,

The output looks OK.  Why does Lily care about associated voice, if
all lyrics have explicit durations?


There have been several related discussions on the mailing list. If you 
compare the output to what you get if you indeed set associatedVoice

or use \lyricsto, is that the horizontal alignment differs.
When LilyPond knows what voice the lyrics is associated with, it uses 
that information to align the lyrics properly.

You could end up with misplaced lyrics that you don't notice until  
later. You can probably just add \lyricsto verbaone (verbatwo,  
verbathree) between the \new Lyrics and \verbaone
