One solution is to specify the duration of each syllable manually, i.e. not to use \addlyrics: mylyricsline = \lyrics {This4 is2 a4 line8 of lyr-2 ics4 } If you have long sections of lyrics that follow the music, it may be convenient to split it up and use \addlyrics for that part and manual

This I assume is for second or third verses?? How would I place the entire poem at the bottome of the notation. This is done a lot for world music/folk songs where the melody repeats and only the words change. Can I do this in Lily or must it be done elsewhere. (lilybook, latex etc.??) Thanks

I've recently converted some Finale ETF files using etf2ly. As advertised, etf2ly converts some of the file. It doesn't handle empty measures, for example (this is a documented limitation). Also, I got some skips in the file, many of which occured immediately after a group of empty bars. No

The ability to hear the notes as you type would change the whole nature of creating lilyfiles. I think that if there was a way to do this not specific to a specific text editor it would be even more valuable. I am at present forced to use vim but as hebrew support improves I may switch to
