Hi,
(this mail will look meaningless until the end, where I come to a only
slightly meaningful point :) )
Having used | in lyrics for a while, I have discovered that the easiest way to
think about barchecks in that context, is that barcheck may be added right
_before_ the first stanza of a bar, not after the last stanza of the bar
before. The reason is that if you think about it this way, you will
drastically reduce the risk of adding the barcheck
\lyrics { a | a }
to the \notes {c1 | r4 c}
While typing vast amounts of lyrics, I tend to feel the first beats of
measures, and then I insert |:s before their lyrics.
This seems like a more sensible convention than adding barchecks _after_
certain bars.
Now I'll get to my point: I earlier suggested that |:s could be added to
lilypond's lyrics examples, for pedagogical reasons. This has been done.. Now
my new suggestion is to move all barlines that are at the end of one row, to
the beginning of the next row.
I.e., change
oden = \lyrics{
O |
den- ne- boom, o |
den- ne- boom Wat |
zijn uw tak- ken |
won- der- schoon
}
into
oden = \lyrics{
O
| den- ne- boom, o
| den- ne- boom Wat
| zijn uw tak- ken
| won- der- schoon
}
