There is no "bar checking algorithm for the lyrics": it is the normal bar check. Lyric ties are articulations: they are just attached to the preceding notes. They don't have a length of themselves. > To find out whether the syllable placing algorithm is in any way dependent > on the bar checks Nothing is _dependent_ on the bar checks (I think there may be some resynchronization option for when a warning is triggered, but it is off by default). > Can you advise me how to proceed? > Should I stop using barchecks in lyrics? At least with ties, they won't work. It's conceivable that you can put in \skip ... after a lyric tie in order to move forward to the time where a bar check makes sense, but I haven't tried it, and it may well throw off note/lyric synchronization altogether. -- David Kastrup _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
