Is there a simple way to align lyrics centrally under
melismata? AFAIK, the short answer is "No". In general LP
centres syllables on notes except when the notes are grouped
in a melisma, when they are left-aligned (expecting an
extender to carry the syllable over the melisma.) This is
the normal type-setting practice.
However, if you create a timeline of hidden notes and spacer
notes without melismata and align the lyrics to this you can
position the syllables pretty flexibly and they are centred
on the timenote non-spacer notes. It generates lots of
warnings, and the lyrics seem to be positioned too low, but
it's the closest I can get to what you want. Here's an
example:
\new Staff <<
\new Voice = timeline { \hideNotes c4 s4. e4 s4. a'4 }
\new Voice = melody { c' d'( e' f' g') a' }
\new Lyrics \lyricsto timeline \lyricmode { one two
three }
>>
Using the Devnull context instead of Voice for the timeline
prints the lyrics in the correct vertical position but
left-aligns the syllables with the non-spacing notes. This
might be better for you, but then the timing has to take
account of every syllable's length if you want them to be
centre-aligned :(
Anyone have a better solution?
