Well, issue 1255 addresses the problem that the hyphen glyph of a lyric font and the LyricHyphen grob are not identical. It cites a source code comment: "TODO: should extract hyphen dimensions or hyphen glyph from the font". It cites Alexander Kobel: "Once I also tried to exchange the LyricHyphen stencil to mimic LyricText, but to no avail - AFAICS, the alignment of the hyphens is more or less hard-coded in the C++ part." There is more than one possible solutions if you have to mix LyricHyphens and hyphen glyphs of the lyric font and if those should be (almost) identical: 1) Always use the hyphen glyph. Easy with this patch: set 'text to "-". 2) Always use a rounded box, never use a hyphen glyph. It would be possible to replace all hyphen glyphs in LyricText with a rounded box. A good solution only for a subset of the available fonts. 3) Try to minimize the difference between the hyphen glyph of the font and the LyricHyphen grob. Automatic extraction of the dimensions of the hyphen glyph would give a reasonable solution only for the subset of available fonts with hyphens glyphs that have a form close to a rounded box. A manually constructed hyphen is possible with this patch. I think there are good reasons to think that the patch is a reasonable solution to the problem described in issue 1255. https://codereview.appspot.com/325470043/ _______________________________________________ lilypond-devel mailing list lilypond-devel@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-devel
