Hello all, I came upon the Lyric Syllable Magnetic Snap snippet: https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-user/2019-05/msg00389.html And I noticed that a small space gets inserted after a multisyllabic word. Consider this example, including the .ily file from above link:
\version "2.20.0" \include "lyric-syllable-magnetic-snap.ily" \new Lyrics \lyricmode { This is just a test for the lyric syllable magnetic snap snippet. \break This is just a test for the lyr -- ic syl -- la -- ble mag -- net -- ic snap snip -- pet. } \layout { \context { \Lyrics \override LyricWord.after-line-breaking = #(lyric-word-compressor 0.5) } \context { \Score \remove "Bar_number_engraver" } } \paper { indent = 0 ragged-right = ##t system-system-spacing.basic-distance = 0 system-system-spacing.minimum-distance = 0 } This is not a dealbreaker for me, as I rather have those spaces inserted after a word than after a syllable inside of a word. But it would nevertheless be nice if someone knew a fix for this. And as an aside: What does the number after lyric-word-compressor do? I didn’t notice a change when playing around with it. Does it have to be 0.5? Thanks, Peter -- Peter Crighton | Musician & Music Engraver based in Mainz, Germany http://www.petercrighton.de
