Hi Wilbert,
as far as I can see everybody forgot to answer your question.
when two eigth notes are just a \melisma, the lyric syllabe is centered below
the first note. But when the two notes are connected with a slur, the syllabe
is left-aligned with the first note, and continues below the second note.
You are absolutely right.
I reproduced it in the following snippet:
\score {
\new Staff { << \new Voice = "toto"
\relative {a'8 b( c d) e \melisma f g \melismaEnd a }
\new Lyrics \lyricsto "toto"
{patton patton patton patton patton patton patton patton } >> }
}
Is there a way to have the syllabe left-aligned without the need to add slurs
(because they are autobeamed together anyway)?
Yes; you might want to use the trick shown in

Your score will looke like this:
\score {
\new Staff { << \new Voice = "toto"
\relative {a'8 b( c d) e \melisma f g \melismaEnd a }
\new Lyrics \lyricsto "toto"
{patton patton
\once \override LyricText #'self-alignment-X = #LEFT patton patton } >> }
}
By the way, I find lyrics left-aligned much easier to read; I
personnaly use the \override without \once so it applies to my whole
scores.
Regards,
Valentin
