i have some questions about lyrics on this: http://jeffcovey.net/music/scores/victoria/o_magnum_mysterium/
1. in measures 11-12 of the soprano part, the extender line should stretch from "gnum" to "my". because i have two blank lyrics in there (o ma -- gnum __ _ _ my), it only stretches between the first two notes. i see in the example in the manual that if i were to group the notes with a slur, the line would extend the correct distance. can i accomplish the same without adding a slur? 2. in the alto part in measures 19-21, the line extends across two rests. how could i make it stop at the second half note? 3. at the end, there should be extender lines from the last syllable in each part to the double bar. since there's no following note, lily says "warning: unbound spanner `LyricExtender'" and doesn't draw them. how could i convince it to do it? 4. a question to see whether i'm missing a feature: when a melisma stretches across many notes, i'm slipping hyphens in where it seems best, and the result looks like morse code: al -- le _ -- _ _ _ -- lu _ _ -- _ _ -- _ _ -- _ -- _ _ _ -- _ -- _ -- _ ja, is there a way i can say to lily, "a melisma lasts from this note to this note. compute the distance and tastefully insert hyphens at regular intervals."? i'm sure it would do a much better job than i do. :) thanks, -- +----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | jeff covey [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://pobox.com/~jeff.covey/ 410-869-8088 | |----------------------------------------------------------------------------| | i got your E-mail But What do i do now?and where do go? | | -- freshmeat.net contributor | +----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
