Hi list, I think this is a recurring theme and I'm aware there are workarounds (kind of).
However I would like to ask if there is work on automatically continuing slurs, lyrics and lyric extender lines in alternate repeats. Find below an example as to how I would want to input the stuff and what it should be rendered like. Is this something that is deemed an enhancement, or am I the only one not liking the current state of affairs or is there a better solution that I'm simply not aware of? %%% snip %%% \version "2.19.59" \markup { \left-column { "This is what I get from Lilypond" "when I write alternate repeats with lyrics" "the way I would want to write them..." } } music = { \repeat volta 2 { c'8 c'4 c'8 c'8 c'8 c'8 c'8( } \alternative { { c'4 c') c'2 } { c'4 c') c'2 } } } lyric = \lyricmode { The words shall get ex -- ten -- der __ lines } lyricII = \lyricmode { The slurs shall be con -- tin -- ued __ too } \score { \music \addlyrics { \lyric } \addlyrics { \lyricII } } \markup { \left-column { " " " " "...and this is what I think Lilypond" "should make of it automatically" "(approximation)" } } musicb = { \repeat volta 2 { c'8 c'4 c'8 c'8 c'8 c'8 c'8( } \alternative { { c'4 c') c'2 } { <>-\tweak control-points #'((-2 . -3.9) (0 . -5.2) (2 . -5.2) (4.0 . -3.9)) ( c'4 c') c'2 } } } lyricb = \lyricmode { The words shall get ex -- ten -- der __ lines "____" too } lyricIIb = \lyricmode { The slurs shall be con -- tin -- ued } \score { \musicb \addlyrics { \lyricb } \addlyrics { \lyricIIb } } %%% snip %%% Kind regards, Michael -- Michael Gerdau email: m...@qata.de GPG-keys available on request or at public keyserver _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
