I saw the question posted earlier re lyrics alignment, but I can't quite
tell whether it adresses my problem, so sorry if I'm being repeticious.
I have Lyrics in between two staves in a StaffGroup. This way bar lines go
all across from the top staff to the bottom one.
I'm using \addlyrics.
I am having a problem with left side of multiletter syllables at the
beginnings of measures crossing the bar line:
| |
s|yl - la - b|le
| |
I'm guessing lilypond tries to center the syllable on the first note
without much regard for the bar lines. This little imperfection is
driving me nuts.
I spent a lot of time trying to find a way to insert some space at the
beginning of a measure to shift the first note to the right a little bit
without any luck.
The only way to deal with this so far that I've been able to figure out
is to wrap the offending syllables in:
\property Lyrics . LyricText \override #'extra-offset = #'(4 . 0)
\property Lyrics . LyricText \override #'extra-extent-X = #'(0 . 4)
syl --
\property Lyrics . LyricText \revert #'extra-offset
\property Lyrics . LyricText \revert #'extra-extent-X
la --
\property Lyrics . LyricText \override #'extra-offset = #'(4 . 0)
\property Lyrics . LyricText \override #'extra-extent-X = #'(0 . 4)
ble
\property Lyrics . LyricText \revert #'extra-offset
\property Lyrics . LyricText \revert #'extra-extent-X
This will shift the sillable to the right by 4 points (the number of
points may vary) Obviously this makes the lyrics very ugly...
Am I missing something? Does 1.4.9 have a feature to deal with this and
should I upgrade? Any advice will be appreciated.
