Hello, I would like to set lyrics on skips, text without melody. Is that possible without very clever lilypond-tweaking? Thanks, Fulko ___ Lilypond-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

Hello, I would like to use different fontshapes in lyrics. Within one line I require regular, bold and italics/slanted to select the group singing. Looking at the .tex file it looks like this cannot be accomplished easily. Writing a perl script to add fontselectors is not my first option. Anot

Hello, I try to set some barless music, a modern variant of Gregoriant chant. There are no normal bars: bars are only used to separate the different parts. The notes have no stems, only quarters and halves are used. This is no problem using Lilypond. You only need lots of spaces (s1,s2,...). \
