lyric-ties within a word (spacing/hyphenation issue)
Hello, Lilypond list.
I would like to use lyric ties on syllables within a single word,
without the syllables looking -- for the presence of hyphen-less space
-- like two short words.
The problem is that there seems to be a minimum amount of space between
the syllables that are tied, and it doesn't seem affected by LyricSpace.
Nor can one put hyphens between tied syllables, e.g [ hy~ -- phen ]. So,
they look like
separate words.
Behold:
\version "2.10"
% Of course, I could just do this:
\score { \relative c''
{ c b }
\addlyrics
{ plen- -- teous }
\layout{ ragged-right = ##t }
}
% But I'd rather combine this:
\score { \relative c''
{ c b }
\addlyrics
{ plen- -- te~ous }
\layout{ ragged-right = ##t }
}
%with something like this:
% (I've used a middle-dot here, which I think works better than a hyphen
in this case.)
\score { \relative c''
{ c b }
\addlyrics
{ plen- -- te·ous }
\layout{ ragged-right = ##t }
}
%But that makes this (even without any LyricSpace):
\score { \relative c''
{ c b }
\addlyrics
{ plen- -- \override LyricSpace #'minimum-distance = #0 te~·ous }
\layout{ ragged-right = ##t }
}
%%%
My intention, btw, is that these syllables should be less articulated
than if they had each an 8th note,
but slightly more than if we simply pronounced them "tyus".
Thank you very much for lilypond and all of the assistance I have
received from this list.

Thank you, Jose! With this information and some Googling I've finally
resolved the issue. For the record, here's what I had to do for the
FreeBSD package (and I assume it's similar for the other *nix's).
1) Install the x11-fonts/dejavu port. This should install the fonts
somewhere like /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/dejavu.
2) Open the file LILYPONDBASE/usr/etc/fonts/local.conf and add the
following line just after the '' line. (Adjust as necessary
for your hierarchy.)
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts
All your system fonts should now be accessible! Do a 'lilypond
-dshow-available-fonts any' to be sure. Below is the updated snippet
that now displays the lyric tie as it should:
\version "2.10.0"
\paper {
#(set-default-paper-size "letter")
#(define fonts (make-pango-font-tree "DejaVu Serif"
"DejaVu Sans"
"DejaVu Sans Mono"
(/ 16 20)))
}
\relative c'{ \time 4/4 r4 f4 e d | c2 c | }
\addlyrics
{ Buon gior -- no~al mon -- do. }

Here's a snippet to work with.

Lyric Ties (desperate)
I am preparing a series of typeset manuscripts for both formal publication and my thesis. I cannot do this until I figure out how to typeset lyric ties (http://huge-url/#Entering-lyrics). The problem, as the documentation states, is that you need a font that correctly encodes U+203F. What the documentation does not tell me is the following: 1) Is there a font included in the Lilypond package that does include this character? 2) If not, where exactly can I obtain such a font (such as the stated DejaVuLGC), or how would I even begin a hunt for such a font? 3) Once found, how do I install this font in the Lilypond hierarchy so that it is detected by the binary? 4) And finally, how to I tell Lilypond to use a particular font for all lyrics in an .ly file? The list archives simply turn up an exchange a long time back where PersonX asked the question, PersonY told him to install DejaVuLGC, and PersonX then said, Thanks! I've tried to contact PersonX and PersonY but have not received responses or bounce messages. I am desperate to get this working. I do *not* want to re-typeset all this music in some lame-trash software like Finale. I am indeed using v2.10.x. I normally use the FreeBSD package but also use it on Windows. (My Cygwin install segfaults though, btw.) I sincerely appreciate any guidance anyone can give me in solving this problem.

The font listed (DejaVuLGC) does not come with the Lilypond FreeBSD package. Is there a packaged font I need to use to render these ties? If it's an external font, how do I install that into the FreeBSD Lilypond tree so it's seen?
