Thanks for your patience. No not at all. I'm not at all trying to replace the inter-syllable hyphen with emdash. My lyrics comes from this verse: Må det väckta sinnet – värdefullt, sublimt – > vakna hos dem där det ännu ej har väckts > aldrig falna där det redan vaknat har > utan ständigt växa i

Hi Peter, Are you simply trying to replace Lilypond's inter-syllable hyphen with an emdash? If so, just override it directly: \version "2.15.14" \paper { ragged-right = ##f } MD = { \once \override LyricHyphen #'stencil = #ly:text-interface::print \once \override LyricHyphen #'text = "—" \

I also notice that with the enclosing of the actual syllable and the en-dash within double quotes, the alignment of the syllable with the note is distorted. On Sun, Oct 16, 2011 at 21:12, Peter Olin wrote: > Thanks Kieren! > > That's close to what I want. Yes. > > However I'd like to see the en

Hi Jan-Peter! Thanks for the tip. Using an UTF dash indeed makes it show up in the lyrics - and so far that's good. But then the trouble is that I don't want it to "consume" a note. It seems to be counted as a syllable. I've been looking at the LyricHyphen and tried to experiment with overridin

Hello Peter, to include the mdash sign in lilypond, it should appear as such in the (UTF8) encoded source. The double dash in lilypond evokes a hyphenation event to draw thin and short Lines between two syllables. If the emdash is not a syllable on its own, you might want to override hyphen pro

Hi all! After a 20+ years hiatus from LaTeX use, I've again found reasons to wet my toes again. I'm trying to typeset some verse with LilyPond - where the verse text includes hyphens (endashes, or possibly emdashes), but it's not as straightforward as I had hoped using LilyPond. Maybe someone can
