Lyrics spacing problem - overlapping syllables

2009-01-26 Thread Jiri Zurek (Prague)
Please, look at the last note of the piece: the last syllable of the following piece ("-mme") is overlapping with the melisma preceding it. How to instruct Lilypond to make some more room for the syllable to shift it away from the foregoing ending melisma? I tried the "Spacing lyrics" from the Doc

Version 2.12 has this new feature: "Notes or rests, such as a typical end note, that fill an entire measure are preceded by some more space." The amount of "more space" varies with how loose / tight the line is (which is a good thing) but for me, it's a bit too much overall. Is there a way to c

Slurs in lyrics

I'm engraving a piece where I'd like to put dotted slurs directly in the lyrics to instruct the singers to carry the note. I know there are other ways to indicate this (such as dotted slurs over the notes, which is what I've settled with currently), but I'd like to put the slurs over the lyrics if
