Subject: Opening parentheses in lyrics don't appear
Dear fellow-users,
I'm working on a vocal piece in which some lyrics are in parentheses, but
the opening parentheses don't appear in the output PDF file. The closing
parentheses are fine. By way of example, here's a couple of bars from the
piece:
================
\version "2.14.2"
\relative c'
<<
\new Voice = "melody" {
\time 12/8
fis2.( f |
a4.) a4 g8 g4 f8 f4. |
}
\new Lyrics \lyricsto "melody" {
blue __ (oo -- by -- doo -- by -- doo)
}
================
I have looked but haven't succeeded in finding a reference to this in the
documentation or on the forum, but at this stage I don't feel confident in
reporting it as a bug. Any advice would be appreciated. Apologies, as
usual,
if I've missed an existing solution or explanation.
BTW, I know that I can solve the problem with a work-around, e.g.
enclosing
the syllable concerned in quotes as "(oo" produces the correct result, but
it's not a very elegant solution, especially for repeated instances.
I found I had to use the "(word" solution - I use a regex in my application
that creates lilypond code to do just this.
