But there's an issue: a melisma isn't always entirely tied in a beam (look at the example in my previous post, the "Ma - - -" beaming breaks every beat ). Anyway, think to a song with many 8th syllabes and many melismas (i.e. renaissance polyphony), it would be very tricky to manage the thing in the voice context, while the easier way should be to insert notes without specify beaming (and melismatas), add lyrics with dashes ( "In vo -- ci -- fe -- ra - ti -- o -- _ _ ne") and apply the new rule 'break the beam before each new syllable' to automatic beaming. Could it be possible? Thanks Marco _______________________________________________ lilypond-devel mailing list lilypond-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-devel
