Subject: Re: certain type of vocal notation in liturgical contexts
Dear Ponders,
I would like to typeset a certain type of notation, which can be found
in liturgical context. I have an example image attached. (Ignore the
lyrics written in Fraktur). I have two questions:
1. How is this notation called?
2. How can I (easily) reproduce it with LP? - a question which might
break apart into:
2a) how do I typeset those "double-quarter" notes?
2b) how do I manage the alignment of lyrics conveniently? (NB
that several times there happen to be multiple syllables on one note).
Thank you!
Jonathan
It would generally be called chant:

The double quarters would be set with ties between them.

Lilypond can align multiple syllables to a single note:
