Subject: Multi line text with a common text
Sorry for the unclear subject. I found a score I've put on LilyPond
(Messaus
- Dies est laetitiae); the original score had three lines of text,
but at
beat 7 there is just ONE common text. The original score had a curly
bracket
after the three lines and the "common text" aligned with the centre
of the
curly bracket. I wondered if there is a "rule" in these situations, and
searched in the Bible (Behind bars) if I could find an answer, but I was
unable to find it.
So; in these situations, what should be done? And, if the way the
score I
have is the correct one, how can I make it in Lilypond (I made a
search in
the docs here too with no results).
Thanks.
Have a look at http://lsr.di.unimi.it/LSR/Item?id=265
I think the coding leaves room for improvements: especially the \set
stanza command is very useful for placing the brace between lyric
syllables, and there are more convenient commands for the braces.
Attached you find an improved version which I will also submit to the
bug list.

PS. The case not covered is the one with an even number of stanzas… but
I don’t have a good idea for that, either.
