To be more precise, with my fixes in 2.19.9 Lyrics no longer have to be explicitely attached to noteheads, because they can find respective noteheads themselves. This should make it possible to get rid of the fake/simulated noteheads in the NullVoice context, which give us trouble. >> Entering lyrics with durations is inconvenient. > > So we want to get durations from music in a NullVoice. > What I posted earlier was a suggested re-definition of NullVoice that > does only what is needed. I think that your idea of simply using Devnull instead of NullVoice might give surprisingly good results. 2014-07-07 3:11 GMT+02:00 Mark Polesky <markpole...@gmail.com>: > Dan & Keith, > > NullVoice was my idea, for better or worse.

Exactly. Dan, if you want to push the issue forward, one way to do so would be to collect all example usages of NullVoice from the documentation (http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.19/Documentation/notation/techniques-specific-to-lyrics#polyphony-with-shared-lyrics) and the bug tracker (https://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/list?can=1&q=NullVoice&colspec=ID+Type+Status+Stars+Owner+Patch+Needs+Summary&cells=tiles), put them in one file, try changing all instances of NullVoice to Devnull and see what happens. It's a simple thing to do, and with this information we may be able to fix the nullvoice problem. (i don't have time to do this myself). best, Janek _______________________________________________ lilypond-devel mailing list lilypond-devel@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-devel
