it's because of the ties. when you do fis4 r4 e4~ ( fis8 g8 ) you are starting both a tie and a slur from the note e. just remove the tilde, as what you want is a slur. The tie causes the lyrics engine to wait for another note. So make it: fis4 r4 e4( fis8 g8) General rule: use a tie to connect two notes of the same pitch; use a slur to connect a group of notes that can have different pitches. best regards, Wilbert Berendsen -- Frescobaldi, LilyPond editor for KDE: http://www.frescobaldi.org/ Nederlands LilyPond forum: http://www.lilypondforum.nl/ _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
