Subject: "loose" alignment of lyrics
Hi,
One of the things that attracts me to Lilypond is that I can scale the level
of detail to what I need.
Now, sometimes what I need, especially in a first iteration, is a quick chord
chart with lyrics.
Looking at the documentation though, it looks like I have to give full timing
information for the vocal melody to position it correctly, but if I'm doing a
quick chart that's going to be a pain.
What I want to do is just align key bits, say the word at the start of the
bar.
Is that possible?
regards
Jon
