Subject: legato lyrics
Hi,
In the following example, why are the lyrics correct in the first bars,
but are failing when I add a legato slur ??
\version "2.19.8"
mymelody = \relative c' {
c4 c4 g'4 g4 |
a4 a4 g2 |
\break
c,4( c4 g'4 g4 |
a4 a4 g2) \bar "|."
}
mylyrics = \lyricmode { Twin- kle twin- kle lit- tle star }
\score {
<<
\new Staff <<
\context Voice = "mymelody" { \mymelody }
\new Lyrics \lyricsto "mymelody" { \mylyrics \mylyrics }
>>
>>
\layout {}
}
Because this is how singers expect melisma to be expressed: please see
melisma in the NR. The simplest option (if you really want to confuse your
singers) is to use a phrasing slur.
