David, this is AWESOME!! I've checked that this even handles kerning and ligatures on the borders of snapped syllables - mindblowing!!! I have added it to the snippets repository: https://github.com/openlilylib/snippets/tree/master/notation-snippets/lyric-syllable-magnetic-snap If you have any updates, please contribute them :) When i have time, i'll incorporate this engraver in my templates and test it on real-life scores. > The only awkwardness would be that the Scheme engraver would have to be > consist-ed, as it's not currently possible to add it to the definition of > Lyrics in the codebase.

I'd really like to help with that, but i'm afraid that i don't have time. However, i may be able to contribute some money (do you have an account in some European bank or would I have to use PayPal?). > As this touches on the "Lyrics Project," I'm cc'ing Janek. @Janek: how > would this figure into your long-range plans? Will it--and here I'm > thinking mostly of a LyricWord grob--be a help or a hindrance? Hmm. It's difficult to say how this would fit any attempts to solve issue 2456 (the most important one) without having a closer look, and i don't have time to do this :( However, since my long-term plans are virtually non-existent (they amount to "try to update and submit for review the code that i already have when i have time" - and this doesn't include issue 2456, unfortunately), just go ahead. As far as i can see your code shouldn't give any serious conflicts with my drafts. Thanks a lot for your work!!
