Last weekend I was entering a song into Lilypond. It's four parts, SATB, and has two verses. The verses scan very slightly differently. There is a measure in the music where there are two slurred halfnotes. In one verse, one syllable is stretched over both half-notes. The other verse has an extra syllable, so there's a separate syllable for each halfnote. Lilypond's ability to match lyrics with music is absolutely fantastic, but it apparently doesn't handle this scenario. I wound up having one verse matched automatically, and assigning a duration to *every* syllable in the other verse. I'm wondering whether I missed something that would have let me say "do the automatic match, but in this measure do it this way".
For only a few places you could - include two syllables of the "longer" verse in quotes - insert an empty syllable (space in quotes) in the shorter verse I'm sure there are more (and better) solutions, but this is easy ;-) Greetlings from Lake Constance --- fiëé visuëlle Henning Hraban Ramm http://www.fiee.net http://angerweit.tikon.ch/lieder/ https://www.cacert.org (I'm an assurer) _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
