Indeed, my problem is completely different than automatic insertion of extenders. Indeed, I want Lilypond that it adds some "padding" automatically to the notehead whenever there is long syllable under it, so that the "physical" extent of the printed letters of that syllable does not overlap with neighboring notes. If it overlaps, then it might wrongly suggest to the singer, that the syllable belongs to a different notehead than it is ment to belong. The left-aligned lyrics is not a solution (it is only a "dirty" solution) since what I am aiming at is vowel-centered alignment in all cases ( http://www.nabble.com/Lyrics---align-first-vowel-of-a-syllable-under-the-notehead-td21600612.html as I suggest in another thread ). So, I still think it is a bug. If there is no disagreement, I will put this into bug announcements forum. But I will wait for a couple of days because someone can still come correcting my view. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Lyrics-spacing-problem---overlapping-syllables-tp21665565p21706169.html Sent from the Gnu - Lilypond - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
