In the documentation, the "official" way to do it without introducing polyphony is to set ignoreMelismata in the lyrics: http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.10/Documentation/user/lilypond/Lyrics-to-multiple-notes-of-a-melisma Cheers, Reinhold PS: Your example creates problems here, because the slur's position is calculated including the (invisible) stems of the hidden notes. Thus the slur even overlaps with the lyrics... -- ------------------------------------------------------------------ Reinhold Kainhofer, Vienna University of Technology, Austria email: [EMAIL PROTECTED], http://reinhold.kainhofer.com/ * Financial and Actuarial Mathematics, TU Wien, http://www.fam.tuwien.ac.at/ * K Desktop Environment, http://www.kde.org, KOrganizer maintainer * Chorvereinigung "Jung-Wien", http://www.jung-wien.at/ _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
