Subject: Melisma with manual syllable durations
In 2 of the set of 6 songs I have (rather slowly) been setting, I want
2 sets of words: the original, and an English version. In each of the
other 4 songs there is just one set of words.
After much experimentation and a lot of failures, I found a way of
doing what I wanted, which is to use manual durations. This may very
well not be the best nor the simplest way of doing it, but it is the
only way I found that works.
Have you tried using skip lyrics rather than explicit durations - using
\skip1 or _ for example?
