Here’s a proof of concept that I don’t currently have time to develop. I think it would be nice if ly::lyric-extender::print worked this way by default, so that a user only had to set LyricExtender.text to get this behavior.
Regards, — Dan \version "2.19.54" %% Print a lyric extender with text at the beginning where the %% extender is broken. This can be useful after a break (see Behind %% Bars, p.452). #(define (dfe-lyric-extender-print grob) (let ((line (ly:lyric-extender::print grob))) (if (ly:grob-property grob 'text) (let* ((x-ext (ly:stencil-extent line X)) (text (stencil-whiteout-box (lyric-text::print grob)))) (ly:stencil-add line (ly:stencil-translate text (cons (interval-start x-ext) 0)))) line))) \layout { \context { \Lyrics \override LyricExtender.stencil = #dfe-lyric-extender-print } } ooo = \lyricmode { \once \alterBroken text #'(#f "(oo)") LyricExtender Ooo __ } << \new Voice = "mel" \fixed c' { c1 d e f | \break g a b g } \new Lyrics \lyricsto "mel" { \ooo _ _ _ _ _ _ _ } >> _______________________________________________ lilypond-devel mailing list lilypond-devel@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-devel
