In fact.. The page talking about "\skip"s mentions the \skip syntax is: An invisible rest (also called a `skip') can be entered like a note with note name `s' or with \skip duration with 'duration' written in italic.. meaning it's a parameter. http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.4/Documentation/user/out-www/lilypond/Skips.html#index-_0040code_007b_005cskip_007d-149 But.. in \lyricmode .. this duration has no effect.. so there is difference between actual behaviour and documentation. In that case, would you treat it as a bug ? > > this can actually easily be accomplished with a music-function. This > is left to the reader as an excercise. > Music-function ?! Need I to learn Scheme or whatever other language Lilypond uses ? I find lilypond very simple to use as long as it stays lean (and that's part of your goals, isn't it ?). I don't think writing music-functions should be part of the typesetting job, especially when it's such a simple thing, to put space between words or to correctly align lyrics. But you know.. I'm not the one writing the software.. :) I really appreciate what you guys do.. I just send over ideas :) thanks :) Alexandre Bourget _______________________________________________ bug-lilypond mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-lilypond
