Dear devs,
when I use tags to differentiate lyrics in different parts, I often have
to complicate the source file and duplicate code in order because of
different punctuation that results from different repetitions and/or
elisions. Very much boiled down:
\lyricmode {
yes
\tag alto,bass { yes, }
\tag bass { but? }
\tag alto { but, still! }
}
It would seem convenient to be able to write (pseudo-code)
\lyricmode {
yes
\tag alto,bass { \, but }
\tag bass { \? }
\tag alto { \, still \! }
}
for the same result, introducing an event and an input syntax/commands
to render it correctly.
Does that seem feasible/desirable to anyone? Just an idea…
Best, Simon
