When I put in lyrics, each syllable that I enter falls under a note in "melody", unless the note is tied over. Is there a way to override this feature when the tie is say, dashed?
I've tried to put \override Tie #'tieDashed = ##t inside the context bracket \layout { \context { } } but I just get an error: warning: cannot find property type-check for `tieDashed' (backend-type?). perhaps a typing error? warning: doing assignment anyway warning: cannot find property type-check for `tieDashed' (backend-type?). perhaps a typing error? warning: doing assignment anyway warning: cannot find property type-check for `tieDashed' (backend-type?). perhaps a typing error? Here's my code: \version "2.16.2" melody = \relative c'' { \clef treble \key c \major \time 4/4 a8 \tieDashed b~ \tieSolid b b c c d d } text = \lyricmode { \small la la la la la } upper = \relative c'' { \clef treble \key c \major \time 4/4 a4 b c d } lower = \relative c { \clef bass \key c \major \time 4/4 a2 c } \score { << \new Voice = "mel" { \autoBeamOn \melody } \new Lyrics \lyricsto mel \text \new PianoStaff << \new Staff = "upper" \upper \new Staff = "lower" \lower >> >> \layout { \context { \Staff \RemoveEmptyStaves } } \midi { } } -- View this message in context: http://lilypond.1069038.n5.nabble.com/Overriding-dashed-ties-when-entering-lyrics-tp157769.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
