Re: Unable to align lyric to rests (with MWE)

Good morning, I think the original is possible only because the lyrics are different. If you want to write the melody with the lyrics to the second stanza only, it would make no sense to have lyrics corresponding to a rest. A version with the second stanza text only could look like this:

Mahalo to all of you for injecting. Love this stuff and just intrigued by the variety of expressions. Remarkable that this has been built (i.e. Lilypond) as well as this community. J. On 1/2/24 17:50, Christopher R. Maden wrote: On 1/2/24 22:18, John Helly wrote: That worked in terms of

Aloha K. Here's the one I've been working on.  Maybe it's just wrong.  I agree with your logic and defer to you as I know little about these conventions at this point. Also, I said on r4 but it's actually on r8. This is from Brothers In Arms published by Musicnotes under license from

Re: Unable to align lyric to rests (with MWE)

Mahalo. That sounds reasonable and very much appreciated.  What I did was replace the rest with the succeeding note on essentially the same logic.  However, I like your solution. J. On 1/2/24 14:04, Hans Aikema wrote: On 3 Jan 2024, at 00:41, John Helly wrote: Hi Kieren. But, ... I

Hi Kieren. But, ... I don't really see why it should.  There are many songs for which the vocal precedes the melody.  Perhaps there is some other way to accomplish this that I'm unaware of.  I'm pretty much a novice at writing.  However, I am transcribing a published score into LP as an

How to move an ornament vertically

Dear all, I wonder how you can "talk" LilyPond into moving a dashPlus symbol above a slur. Without any tweaking it always puts the dashPlus under a slur, whereas if you replace the dashPlus by a \trill command, the trill symbol is always placed above the slur. If I move around the slur like this:

Aloha. I need to attach the word to the rest so the rest of the lyrics align properly.  I don't think shifting it will do the job (although I'll try it). J. On 1/2/24 11:26, Kieren MacMillan wrote: Aloha! I'm struggling to align some lyrics and the problem seems to be that I cannot find

Aloha! > I'm struggling to align some lyrics and the problem seems to be that I cannot > find any way to align syllables to rests. Do you want to attach the syllable(s) to the rest(s), or simply nudge the syllable left a little (e.g., to relax the lyric spacing that follows)? If the latter,

Unable to align lyric to rests (with MWE)

Aloha. I'm struggling to align some lyrics and the problem seems to be that I cannot find any way to align syllables to rests.  In the following MWE, I want to align the word 'but' with the r4.  It seems only to be willing to align with either the prior note or the succeeding note (prior note

I see that it can be corrected with \override TupletBracket.padding = 2.5 See this page \version "2.24" \language "deutsch" \relative c' {   \tupletUp   % corrects the collision between the "3" and the flat sign
