left-aligned syllables?

2008-11-30 Thread Ivo Bouwmans
Hallo all, Preparing some Christmas music (see below or attachment), I saw that the first syllables in the final system are left-aligned rather than centred below the note as they should be. Does anyone know what causes this? (Previous versions of LP yield the same result.) -- Vriendelijke

Re: left-aligned syllables?

2008-11-30 Thread Ivo Bouwmans
Hallo Johan, Apparently, this is what happens when lyrics are aligned to slurred notes. After all, if a slur spans several notes, it is better to have the syllable on the first note and not centered under the slur. Imagine the slur spans 20 notes... So I think this is intentional. Well done,

2008/11/30 Reinhold Kainhofer [EMAIL PROTECTED]: It's actually not a problem of spacing between the clef and the time signature, but rather a problem with make-center-column-markup, which ignores the left extents. for example, it also breaks for 2/4 + (2+3)/8. The second fraction will overlap
