Re: temporarily forcing notes to ignore LyricText width
Hi,
I have found that it helps for short sections of music if the words in
the offending lyrics are all made the same length. thus "I could do"
associated with three 8th notes, might become "__I__ could __do__" This
makes the spaces even out.
Cheers,
Bill

Hello all,
In the attached snippet, you can see how the notes are evenly spaced when there
is enough overall width (page 1), but become unevenly spaced when the width is
at all cramped (page 2).
An automagic fix for this issue is part of the GSoc Lyric overhaul, and hence
is a long way off from being implemented [if ever!]. In the meantime, I would
love a tweak that would allow me to tell Lily to ignore the LyricText grobs
when spacing that measure; I would then go and nudge the individual grobs left
or right as necessary to make the measure look great.
Unfortunately, I can’t seem to find the correct incantation. (Note: I’ve tried
setting LyricText.X-extent and #'extra-spacing-width, but with unexpected and
not uniform results.)
Thanks,
Kieren.
p.s. Bonus points if this tweak can be applied “externally” (i.e., via the
edition-engraver).

Re: temporarily forcing notes to ignore LyricText width
Hi All,
Try my snippet attached. I know it's not automatic, but it does work.

temporarily forcing notes to ignore LyricText width
Hello all,
In the attached snippet, you can see how the notes are evenly spaced when there

at all cramped (page 2).
