Now, I strangely wasn’t able to recreate it in the MWE, but in the real-world score I’m working on including this snippet fixed it, even for the shortest possible syllable “i”: https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-user/2019-05/msg00389.html There is a very minor drawback, in that the snippet adds a barely noticeable space after a multisyllabic word. I opened a different thread about this a few days ago, maybe a fix will be found. -- Peter Crighton | Musician & Music Engraver based in Mainz, Germany http://www.petercrighton.de
