The reason I included pipe symbols in the lyrics is that it helps me keep track.
The problem is: the Lilypond music interpreter issues many erroneous barcheck warnings for the lyrics sections. In the file I uploaded (Dormend'un giorn'a baia by Verdelot, choral, 4 voices), there are 11 of them. Dormend__a_minor.ly <http://lilypond.1069038.n5.nabble.com/file/n156790/Dormend__a_minor.ly> I noticed a pattern in the erroneous-barcheck-in-lyrics warnings. They occur when at the corresponding position in the staff a tie extends from one bar to the next. (One other case: an erroneous-barcheck-warning-in-the-lyrics at a position where there are rests both left and right of that bar line.) My hypothesis: The bar checking algorithm for the lyrics does not take ties into account. To find out whether the syllable placing algorithm is in any way dependent on the bar checks I removed all of the pipe symbols from one section of lyrics. The syllables still lined up correctly. I infer that the syllable placing uses only the hyphenation and the melisma-indicating underscores. I would prefer using barchecks in the lyrics, it helps me keep track. But the erroneous barcheck warnings are very awkward. The issue may be related to this one. http://lilypond.1069038.n5.nabble.com/Bar-check-warning-td47608.html Can you advise me how to proceed? Should I stop using barchecks in lyrics? -- View this message in context: http://lilypond.1069038.n5.nabble.com/Should-I-stop-using-barchecks-in-lyrics-tp156790.html Sent from the User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
