And auto-length lyrics. If you give the lyric syllables explicit durations and not use \lyricsto/\addlyrics but just set associatedVoice and \lyricmode appropriately, you can write bar checks into the lyrics perfectly well. Note that bar checks indicate that your lyrics _are_ written to match a given rhythm at seminal points, so there is some motivation to either put none of the rhythm into the lyrics (and let them get autotimed using \addlyrics/lyricsto) or put all of it in and use explicit durations. -- David Kastrup _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list [email protected] https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
