New issue 3035 by [email protected]: Lyrics too cozy with notes
http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=3035
Mike Solomon reported here:
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-lilypond/2012-12/msg00091.html
as follows:
In the following example :
\version "2.17.9"
<<
\relative c' { g a' a r4 a1 }
\addlyrics { u u u u }
\relative c''' { r2 r32 d8.. r4 R1 }
I'm not convinced that the lower voice should slice through the lyrics. I'm
typesetting a choral works and it looks, while sightreading, that the u in
the
higher voice is a sort of annotation for the lower voice (the spacing is
even
tighter in my real example).
What does real literature do? Does this type of typesetting ever happen? I
think it'd be worth it to horizontally pad skylines in Lyric contexts so
that
this sort of snug fitting doesn't happen.
Cheers,
MS
