Subject: Lyrics to second voice messes up following measure
Hello fellow LilyPonders,
yesterday I stumbled over a problem involving lyrics assigned to a (cue)
voice in a bivocal measure.
Assigning a syllable to the *last note* of the bivocal measure messes up
the subsequent monovocal measure (and all subsequent ones).
Since I am a lilypond beginner, it's likely I am missing the obvious
here. Lilyponds behaviour, however, seems illogical to me and cumbersome
to work around.
I boiled down the behaviour to an attached 10-line example:
Add another syllable to the lyrics (line 6) and watch the note in the
following measure disappear.
Can somebody help me out here?
Thanks a lot in advance,
Phil
I think this is a known (very old) bug:
http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=127
I use a fairly horrible workaround:
\new CueVoice = "cue" {d'2 d'2*1/2 \hideNotes d'4 \unHideNotes}
The *1/2 halves the effective musical length of the note, allowing me to
slip in a hidden note of half the length. This has no lyric and so corrects
the problem with the main voice.
