The only thing i can say is that OpenOffice supports it. I don't know if this is an appropriate program to speak of, though. > But if you were to choose 'bold-narrow, you'd get the same as selecting > a condensed font for this syllable.

Otherwise, try something like \markup \scale > #'(0.97 . 1) "syllable"; that's about all I can come up with. I tried it and unfortunately the scaled syllabes start to look weird as soon as i compress them by the amount that makes any difference in my situation (0.9 for example). I think that adding ability to reduce distances between letters without affecting letters would be useful, especially in tight lyrics situations. Nevertheless, thank you very much for your help! cheers, Janek _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
