This probably means that someone else should step forward and maintain and/or replace the lyric alignment code, right? Anyway, it's a lot better than in 1.2 or whatever. ;) > putting the vowel under the note head is the standard > convention, [...] I didn't even know this, so I really shouldn't volunteer here. Besides, I can't even get 1.8 to compile. I *do* know that there are two different conventions for beaming of vocal pieces. The traditional (and, IMHO, most easily read) way is to beam in accordance with the lyrics, with or without additional slurs; the modern approach uses standard (instrument) beaming regardless of the lyrics, and indicates melismatas using slurs. I prefer the traditional method myself, but of course it only works perfectly when the melisma consists of notes shorter than a quarter. Workaround: "[c4( d8 e )d] c" (that would be "c4-[-( d8 e d-)-] c" or something in the new syntax, but I'm stuck with 1.6 here) works for me ;) -- Arvid _______________________________________________ Lilypond-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
