> indeed, but it's actually wrong, since grace notes > are too short to sing > a syllable on. I was hoping that was the answer I would get. I am notating folk songs where there is indeed such behaviour, i.e. the singer sings a syllable on a grace note. Since they aren't trained musicians, I can't force them to follow the rules, and since I am notating performance, I need to notate the syllable on the grace. However the problem isn't here the grace but the slur. As long as I don't use a slur things line up a ok.
I will look at the other posts to see if they offer a solution. I forgot to mention the version I am using if it matters:GNU LilyPond 2.7.3 Also I didn't post the source since the lyrics are in hebrew, if it is relevent I can output a png. aaron ____________________________________________________ Start your day with Yahoo! - make it your home page http://www.yahoo.com/r/hs _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
