New issue 2638 by [email protected]: Lyric Hyphens aren't placed
equally far from neighbor syllables
http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=2638
This example is a bit artificial, but illustrates the problem well:
\version "2.15.39"
{ f'16 f' f' f' }
\addlyrics { W -- o -- pp -- p }
first hyphen is much closer to 'o' than to 'W'. 2nd and 3rd hyphens are
closer to the syllable on the left.
This happens because syllables' are treated as if they had straight
vertical edges (no "kerning" is applied). Perhaps using skylines would
solve this problem - see issue 2148.
