When notes are written, they should look nice so that they are easier to
read. For example, the notes in triplets should have roughly the same
spacing.
When writing vocal music, however, we are dealing with syllables of
different lengths. This can confuse the same spacing in triplets. How
can the triplets in the following example be written more or less evenly
again?
\version "2.24.4"
\language "deutsch"
sopranoVoice = \relative c'' {
\key d \minor
a2 g~ | g2. r4
\tuplet 3/2 { d'4 a f } \tuplet 3/2 { a f d }
\tuplet 3/2 { f e d } \tuplet 3/2 { e f g } | e1
}
verseSopranoVoice = \lyricmode {
Träu -- men, streicht sanft uns ü -- bers Haar,
nimmt al -- le Sor -- gen im Nu.
}
altoVoice = \relative c' {
\key d \minor
c2 b~ | 2. r4
\tuplet 3/2 { d4 4 4 } \tuplet 3/2 { c c c } |
\tuplet 3/2 { h h h } \tuplet 3/2 { b b b } | cis1
}
sopranoVoicePart = \new Staff \with {
} << \sopranoVoice >>
\addlyrics { \verseSopranoVoice }
\score {
\new Staff \with {
\consists Merge_rests_engraver
} <<
\new Voice = "soprano" { \voiceOne \sopranoVoice } \addlyrics {
\verseSopranoVoice }
\new Voice = "alto" { \voiceTwo \altoVoice }
>>
}
Especially the second and third triplet are unaligned. "Ü -- bers" and
"al -- le" should be wider.
