Re: Not enough space between certain words

I am working on another liturgical piece of music, and it has a refrain

fine, except for that part. Could anyone help, please? Attached is the
current version of the file.
Add this:
\layout {
\context {
\Score
\override SpacingSpanner #'packed-spacing = ##f
}
\context {
\Lyrics
\override LyricHyphen #'minimum-distance = #0.6
\override LyricSpace #'minimum-distance = #0.6
}
}
just below the \include gregorian.ly .
The first incantation will improve the note spacing which is changed to the
gregorian default style by gregorian.ly, and the second one forces a minimum
distance between syllabes with and without hyphens, so that they do not
disappear. Of course you can experiment with the vaules.

Re: Not enough space between certain words
Hi,
I have additional useful information :) Please add
\revert Score.SpacingSpanner #'packed-spacing
to your global variable, too. You'll notice that spacing of notes
sung to word Thee (right before Alleluia) improves dramatically!
cheers,
Janek

Hi,
i found something that may be helpful to you: there are some strange
gaps in the output, for example after because He hath in first
system, or inside Alleluias (like in the third system). They became
obvious when there is no lyrics (try compiling the attached code).
I suppose they appear because barlines are still there (they are made
invisible, but still exist). It can be solved by switching the time
signature off - using cadenzas. You can add the cadenza indication in
global variable:
global = {
\key f \major
\cadenzaOn
\override Staff.TimeSignature #'stencil = ##f
\override Staff.BarLine #'stencil = ##f
}
(unfortunately you'll have to manually add breaks by using \bar
\break in apprppriate places.)
Hope that helps,
Janek

See also: http://lsr.dsi.unimi.it/LSR/Item?id=680 By the way, Michael, the information James supplied is not too difficult to find and is good practice for using Lily. Open the Notation Reference in your PDF viewer. Search for hyphen and it will give you the Contents entry for Extenders and Hyphens. Follow the link and it gives you exactly the information you need. -- Phil Holmes - Original Message - From: James Bailey To: Michael Dykes Cc: lilypond-user@gnu.org Sent: Sunday, December 26, 2010 9:44 PM Subject: Re: Not enough space between certain words On Dec 26, 2010, at 9:36 PM, Michael Dykes wrote: I am working on another liturgical piece of music, and it has a refrain that ends with the word: Alleluia!

Dear Francois,
you must have clicked reply button instead of reply to all and the
message was sent to me only. I forward it to Michael and to the list.
Yours Pondly,

Dear Michael,
eliminating the hyphens to form normal words is quite normal. Dont
worry for that, you will find it in many editions also before
computer-engraving. I looked at theses Alleluias and they are totally
ok.
Greetings,
Francois
