And Reinhold Kainhofer (observantly) says:
I just tried one of my choir scores (ChoirStaff with two stanzas
written
between the two staves for SA and TB) with the current git version.
The
lyrics are tied to the S voice, but in 2.10.x, the lyrics were
still centered
between the two staves. Now in 2.11, the lyrics seem to be glued to
the SA
staff (when using ragged-bottom=##f and ragged-last-bottom=##f), so
they are
quite far away from the TB, which make the scores absolutely
unusable for
choir use.
Amen, brother. That's what I'm stressin.
Here it seems like there is more space between the staves of a
system than
between two systems.
Yup. And since a ChoirStaff is for choirs, I repeat my question:
Would anyone *want* this to be the case for *any* type of of multi-
voice
vocal music? Even if you have polyphony instead of chorale, would you
want a big white space while the basses wait for their entry?
I know it's possible to fix it with a tweak. I'm pointing out my
problems with it because I assume that making something funky and then
explaining a recondite tweak to fix it is not the ideal order of
things. Discussion of this kind of issue is what development
versions are for,
correct? If I'm thinking poorly again, please let me know.
Let's be more factual. In the 19th century Peters edition of
Mendelssohn's
Summernachtstraum that I possess, lyrics always stick to upper staff,
even in
homorythmic choir staves. See <http://nicolas.sceaux.free.fr/tmp/choirstaff001.png
>
for instance, where indeed lyrics are not placed in the middle of
inter staff space.
So saying that the current behavior is "funky" is obviously not
correct; actually
the current behavior seems to conform with 19th engraving practices
AFAICS.
