I agree that the tie should start -- and end -- below the tied syllables, but there should be a visible space. Strangely, there is visible space in the online examples (e.g. regression test), but I don't get any space in actual scores (or in the example I sent). It seems I get too much negative space. (In one example, "ve -- sti~e~i giar -- din", the two lyric ties actually overlap.) I can't find Nancho's scans, but I think the scores I've seen with a lyric tie have a small, but visible space between the words. I'll see if I can find some relevant scores to scan. (Lyric ties aren't used much in most of the languages we sing; I think I've only ever seen them in italian lyrics.) -- Arvid _______________________________________________ bug-lilypond mailing list bug-lilypond@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-lilypond
