Subject: Why does \skip extend an extender
In the following snippet:
music = \relative b' {
c4 d e f
f g a b
c,1
}
Lyrics = \lyricmode {
c d e __ _
_ \skip 1 \skip 1 \skip 1
C
}
\score {
\new Staff \music
\addlyrics \Lyrics
\layout { }
}
I want the three skips to skip past the notes "g a b". That is, I want
the singing of “e” to terminate with the 2nd “f”. But for some reason the
extender is extended through the notes “g a b”. How can I fix this?
Clearly the extender continues since the expectation is that the singer has
to do something with these notes, and continuing to sing "e" is the only
option. If the extender ended on the 2nd f, I would have no idea what is
intended for the next 3 notes. It would be very confusing.
However, if you want to do this, replace \skip with "".
