Hi, FWIW, I just tested your example on a perfectly up-to-date Arch Linux setup (still my first Arch installation, regularly "pacman -Syu"-updated since appx. 4 years), with Lily 2.19.50. No problems at all - find the output attached. On your last update, did you realize the news at https:/

Performance advice: Tied quavers in British (sacred) music

Dear all, especially the King's Singers et al. among you... ;-) A few weeks ago, a conductor (whom I appreciate a lot) gave a lesson about how to execute tied quavers in British choral music. My whole life before, another conductor (whom I appreciate a lot) taught me the exactly opposite opin

exchange LyricHyphen with a "proper" hyphen

Dear all, every now and then, I use a font for lyrics where the hyphen is quite different from Lilypond's LyricHyphen (in particular, sometimes it's slightly slanted). That combined with lyrics where a hyphen has to appear looks, well, ugly. (Recent example: a repetition of part of a word tha

Re: exchange LyricHyphen with a "proper" hyphen

Hi Knut, thanks for looking into that. IIUC (and without looking into your code - is it on Github or otherwise publicly avaiable?), it seems that you essentially add a text-interface to LyricHyphen. That's what would have been my idea as well, if I were up to it. Rebuilding is not a problem
