Hello everybody, (well, to be honest, hello David :-) )

I’m sorry, but I still need some enlightenment on the new alist
variable feature. What’s the problem with the following snippet?

%%%
\version "2.19.39"

cantus.1 = { e' }
cantus.lyr.1 = \lyricmode { Mi }

<<
   { \cantus.1 }
   \addlyrics { \cantus.lyr.1 }
%%%

I get

debug.ly:8:24: error: not a key
   \addlyrics { \cantus.
lyr.1 }

and so a non-music expression is getting ignored.
Basic testing didn’t quite show what the limitation is.

lyr.1 is a lyrics syllable "lyr." with a duration of 1 (whole note).
You'll likely need to space this out.

\cantus . lyr . 1

so that the dots do not become word parts.  You could probably write

\cantus.lyr .1

but that's a bit more ugly.  There is trickery in lyricsmode that will
accept long words like Lyrics.TextScript.color and split them up into a
list, but lyr.1 is not a long word but a word followed by a duration,
and lyr. alone cannot be split into parts while it is still a valid
syllable.


OK, thanks. That works (luckily all 101 instances could be fixed by a 
simple search: ".lyr." => " . lyr . " :-) )

lyr.1 is a lyrics syllable "lyr." with a duration of 1 (whole note).
