No idea for other languages, but for the languages I mostly deal with as lyrics -- i.e. Italian and Latin -- this seems to be not true in general. Both languages have rather simple sets of hyphenation rules (with some oddities, about which later) and, in all cases I am aware of, lyrics are hyphenated as a regular text would and not as pronounced. For instance, It. "passo" (/step/) is always hyphenated "pas-so", even if it obviously sung "pa-sso"; "comprendere" (/understand/) is always hyphenated "com-pren-de-re", but it is obviously sung "co-mpre-nde-re"; and so on. So, no, at least for these languages, "sung-hyphenation" should always match "read-hyphenation". Now, for the oddities. The major one, for both languages, are diphthongs, which may be hyphenated or not, depending on the music. The Italian pronoun "io" (/I/) might be applied to a single note (non-hyphenated at all) or split into two notes, "i-o", according to the music it is applied to. Same for possessive pronouns like "mio/mi-o", "tuo/tu-o" and for words like "leg-gia-drìa/leg-gia-drì-a". So, even 'simple' cases might turn out not to be so simple after all... -- View this message in context: http://dev-list.musescore.org/Gsoc-2016-Text-utilities-tp7579644p7579720.html Sent from the MuseScore Developer mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Transform Data into Opportunity.
