Sorry to pest this forum with the the same problem again, but I would not be happy if it fell into the oblivion. Can someone perhaps see a solution for the vowel-centered lyrics also on the slured notes where the default alignment is left-aligned and can be changed to the centered by adding the sp

Dear Carl, your work is indeed very good and vowel aligned syllables work for most time. However, there is still need for a small impromevement. The vowel centered alignment works on single notes and even it works on beamed notes and or melismata if they are declared with \melisma \melismaEnd func

Success! It's not perfect, because it doesn't recognize that we're using a proportional font, but it looks pretty good to me. It uses vowels (characters that are always vowels) and secondary vowels (characters that are vowels only if there isn't a regular vowel, like y in english), both of which

Daer Mats, thank you very much for the suggestion. However, on my setup, your sollution does not seem to work. I still use Lilypond 2.12.1 and I simply copied your code without any change to a file and compiled with Lilypond. The result is shown on the image - the syllables are still "hard"-center

Hi Jiri, I've attached a hint on how to do it manually. If you need an automated process, perhaps someone on the list will take you up on your sponsorship offer. Hope this helps! Kieren. \version "2.12" \paper { ragged-right = ##f } lyricX = #(define-music-function (parser location

I am waiting for "several days" as suggested by mailing rules but no one seems to answer my question. I still did not find the way how to align the lyrics so that it is nor left- or center- or right-aligned, but aligned in a special way, that the first vowel of a syllable is printed ("centered") u
