Re: Horizontal alingment of lyrics hyphens?

Generally, songs with lyrics are set with a ChoirStaff rather than a StaffGroup. These do not have barlines spanning the space between the staves, and so the problem does not occur. -- Phil Holmes - Original Message - From: kmg To: lilypond-user@gnu.org Sent: Monday,

Horizontal alingment of lyrics hyphens?

Hey guys, I recently discovered Lily and I like it a lot. For practice purposes I decided to engrave some old psalm and lyrics look bad. From what I read, hyphens are always centered between sylabes, so my question: is there a way to avoid them getting into barlines, or align them in verses?

One further iteration. Please let me know what you think of the interface: -\compoundSlur \with { % offsets against the automatic control points offsets = #'((0 . -1.5) ; left starting point (-2 . -1) ; second control point (2 . -5); second-to-last control point
