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
