Re: wrong printing of lyrics slur?

[Kieren MacMillan]

Hi all,

You could also use my trick:

\version "2.13.17"
\include "english.ly"

\paper {
  line-width = 100\mm
  ragged-right = ##f
}

theNotes = \relative {
  \time 3/4
  d2 d4 e4( fs2)
}

theWords = \lyricmode {
viel -- \markup { \combine "le, au" \translate #'(2.4 . -0.5) \fontsize #-3 "‿" 
} soir __
}

\score {
  \new StaffGroup <<
    \new Voice = "voice" \theNotes
    \new Lyrics \lyricsto "voice" \theWords
  >>
}

I think this works better than the built-in Lilypond lyric slur -- and it's 
certainly more easily tweakable.  =)

Hope this helps!
Kieren.
