See section 2.1.3 of the Notation Reference: http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.13/Documentation/notation/stanzas#stanzas-with-different-rhythms Here is your example, with the correct melismata: \include "english.ly" << \new Voice = "misty" \relative c'' { \key ef \major { c2 \times 2/3 { r8 \slurDotted g( af) } \times 2/3 { c ef g } } } \new Lyrics\lyricsto "misty" { \set stanza = "1." { tree, \set ignoreMelismata = ##t and I \unset ignoreMelismata feel like I'm } } \new Lyrics\lyricsto "misty" { \set stanza = "2." { play. It __ might be the } } >> You can, of course, replace the slur "(" and ")" with "\melisma" and "\melismaEnd" if you don't like the visual slur. -- Michael Welsh Duggan (m...@md5i.com) _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
