How can I apply italics to part of a syllable in the lyrics context?
When I use the method I usually use to apply italics, it automatically
creates a new syllable:
#(ly:set-option 'relative-includes #t)
\version "2.20.0"
\new Staff
<<
\new Voice = "mel" { c' c' }
\new Lyrics \lyricsto "mel" { \lyricmode { hat\override
Lyrics.LyricText.font-shape = #'italic (s) \revert
Lyrics.LyricText.font-shape show } }
Use \markup for the entire syllable:
%%%%
\version "2.20.0"
{ a'4 b'2 }
\addlyrics {
\markup { \bold a \italic b }
\markup { \box c \circle d }
}
%%%%
