You probably want to fiddle with melismaBusyProperties, see http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.3/Documentation/user/out-www/lilypond/The-Lyrics-context.html#The-Lyrics-context > So here's the problem: For ordinary slurs slurDotted and > slurSolid are predefined, but since the slur creates a > melisma, lyricsto will refuse to put two syllables there. > With a phrasing slur there's no melisma, so for the case > that has only one syllable I can just add an underscore > (blank syllable) in the lyrics to fill the space, but > phrasing slurs have no prefabs for dotted and solid. > > So, how do I change the line style for phrasing slurs? > The program reference tells me there's a "dashed" > property in slur-interface I can set, but I'm deeply > confused about the where and how. If you still want to use phrasing slurs, you could check out the definition of slurDotted for ideas. The definition is in a ly file somewhere, in like /usr/share/lilypond/2.3.x/ly/ or similar (i don't know how cygwin works) Erik _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
