Hi folks,
I'm preparing music samples of Renaissance music in Lilypond (Orlando di Lasso) and
I'm quarreling with the lyrics support. The music has many melismas.
This is a sample piece of code:
sopMusic = \notes \relative c'' { c1 a bes bes4. c8 d e d4 ~ d4 c2 b8 a b4
c a2 | r4 g4. a8 g4 f f8 e4 d8 e4 e1 r2 a2 }
sopWords = \lyrics { Par- ce mi- hi __ Do- mi- ne: ni- hil e- nim sunt
di- es me- i. Quid }
The problem arises on 'hi __' and 'Do-', that is LilyPond places the 'Do-' on c8, but
in the music, the 'Do-' should be placed on c2. I've found one method to force the
melisma from bes4. to d4 by doing bes4.( c8 d e d4 ~ )d4 (adding a beam). Then Lily
understand that this is a melisma. But Renaissance music of course has no beams. How
to enforce this without having the beam?
Thanks in advance, and I hope the example is clear enough.
Greetings,
Maarten Wisse
