I still use this as the ultimate example of Lilypond’s superiority — both as an application and as a community. :) > Here is how my module handles this particular example. One quick (?) question: Can you think of a way to make lyrics follow the curve, rather than each word being on a rigid flat baseline? (With small syllables, it’s fine of course, but longer syllables like “round” highlight what I mean.) I assume each glyph would have to be independently rotated a small amount, so I have no idea if it’s even technically possible… but I’ve learned never to assume that something is beyond the ability of Lilypond (and its true Jedi Masters, like you and Jean). That’s the last tweak that I think would make this code truly jaw-dropping. Cheers, Kieren. __________________________________________________ My work day may look different than your work day.
