Lyric-notehead alignment problem

2007-02-06 Thread Illtud Daniel
[apologies - I originally sent this to lilypond-bugs, I shouldn't have] I'm getting lyrics left-aligned to noteheads with autobeaming off. I'm looking for normal alignment (first vowel of syllable). See the attached .png - it seems to be left-aligning every syllable except for the last syllable

You may also be mislead by something. If you want manual beaming, you don't have to say \autoBeamOff, just use a[ b c d] If you still want to leave 8th notes without automatic beams, without saying \autoBeamOff you can set up something like this: #(override-auto-beam-setting '(end * * * *) 1 8)

Hi, This is obscure, but I figure it can't hurt to ask ... In this rhythmic snippet, the "perferatory" spacing on only the very first system collapses down to nothing (compared to the remaining three systems). Is there any way to control this amount of system-initial spacing and make it equal th

This might not be much help, but I tried your file on 2.8.6 (which I am still using) with a rearrangement of the \midi \layout and \score to suit the 2.8.6 format and it seemed to produce correct pdf and midi, although I didn't get the tempo right. Here's the midi file for you to check. Trevor
