I've just been entering lyrics for a song, and I've come up with a puzzle: what is the point of -- and __ ? As far as I can see, there should be a -- between every pair of syllables in a word, and a __ at the end of every word. Hyphen (-) at the end of a syllable is unnecessary AFAICS.
Of course, this is all rather annoying to type. What I'd expect is to use hyphens as at present, and never to have to type -- or __. This is what happens for example in Sibelius: hyphens and underlines are produced automatically as needed (unfortunately hyphens aren't drawn very well, but that's irrelevant, and they seem fine in LilyPond). Am I missing something important about lyric typesetting? If not, the above scheme would seem to be very easy to implement, and save quite a lot of typing. -- http://www.mupsych.org/~rrt/ Reality is what refuses to disappear when you stop believing in it (Dick) _______________________________________________ Lilypond-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-devel
