These are just some things that I noticed.
2.1.1 Entering Lyrics.
Lyrics are entered in a special input mode, which can be introduced by
the keyword \lyricmode, or by using \addlyrics or \lyricsto. In this mode…
Which mode? This has bugged me for a while, and since changes are being made,
can I request one here? As far as I understand, it's a statement referring to
the generic mode used for entering lyrics, but because a keyword and two other
things which haven't yet been defined have been mentioned in the same sentence
as this mode for entering lyrics, it would be very helpful for a clearer
sentence, i.e.,
Lyrics are entered in a special input mode, which can be introduced by the
keyword \lyricmode, or by using \addlyrics or \lyricsto. In this special input
mode…
Punctuation, lyrics with accented characters, characters from
non-English languages, or special characters (such as the heart symbol or
slanted quotes), may simply be inserted directly into the input file, providing
it is saved with UTF-8 encoding.
Can I request/suggest an example that more clearly shows this? Maybe »Schad‘ um
das so schö -- ne grü -- ne Band« (Slightly adapted from Die Schöne Müllerin to
fit the notes already in the example.)
The first stanza is not aligned with the notes because the durations
were not specified, and the default value of 2 is used for each word.
Doesn't this use the value of 2 because that was the last explicit value used?
If the preceeding note has a value of 4, then it uses the value 4.
\version "2.13.36"
<<
\new Voice = "one" \relative c'' {
\time 2/4
c4 b8. a16 g4. f8 e4 d r4 c
}
% uses previous explicit duration 4;
\new Lyrics \lyricmode {
Joy to the earth!
}
% explicit durations, set to a different rhythm
\new Lyrics \lyricmode {
Life4 is love,2. live4 life.2
}
>>
Why is "Keeping Contexts Alive" a "see also" for "Manual syllable durations"?
Nothing regarding why this is necessary is mentioned there. If anything, it
should be in the section on "Automatic syllable durations"
Thanks for reading, and I really like a lot of the changes. For context, up to
which section is the rewrite finished?_______________________________________________
