Without Hyphen it is "lecker", with hyphen it is "lek-ker". Using lec -- ker or lek -- ker ( on purpose not le -- cker) the hyphen may or may not appear. Is there anything beyond trial and error to avoid lec-ker or lekker? Some time ago there was an idea of introducing "lek == ker" for forcing a hyphen but otherwise no change to formatting compared to "lek -- ker". Has there happened anything since (I did not find anything in the 2.16 doc)? The following should make it: \context { \Lyrics \override LyricHyphen #'minimum-distance = #1 } I think Klaus did not ask for forcing the hyphen to be visible, or forcing it to be hidden, but instead choose the letters depending on whether the hyphen appears or not in that place (with automatic deduction how cramped the space is). So this boils down to finding a functional hyphenation algorithm for each language.
True.
If no hyphen is needed, then write "lecker". Otherwise write "lek-ker". On a side note, I didn't know this German hyphenation variant. In Dutch we have similar constructs involving the use (or not) of accents, such as in "zoëven/zo-even" and "beëdigde/be-edigde/beë-dig-de/" involving even more than one variant.
I don't get why the last one is more than one variant; isn't it the way that the little dots (don't know their name right now) disappear if and only if there is a hyphen just in front of the letter?
On a different side note, it'd also be really nice if one could specify that no additional space should be introduced if there is no hyphen. At least that's how hand-engraved scores seem to do if horizontal space is at a premium: write the word as one word, even if the alignment to the note heads is slightly off.
But I guess and hope that's also part of Janek's ongoing work? Best, Alexander _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
