Am I missing something? It seems like using devnull to align lyrics to
does pay attention to ties. Ties do seem to be honored when using voice
for alignment.
Below is a stripped down example with screenshot.
\version "2.24.2"
\language "english"
\layout {
indent = 0
}
verseLyricsMelody = \relative c' {
c4 c c c~ | c c c c |
}
verseOneLyrics = \lyricmode {
one two three four five six seven eight
}
\new Score {
<<
\new Voice = "verse" { \break \verseLyricsMelody }
\new Lyrics \lyricsto "verse" { \verseOneLyrics }
>>
<<
\new Devnull = "verseB" { \break \verseLyricsMelody }
\new Lyrics \lyricsto "verseB" { \verseOneLyrics }
>>
}
