Lyrics: \set associatedVoice

[Simon Albrecht]

Hello,

I’ve got a problem: I’m typesetting a Brahms lied where some melismata are only for one stanza and not for the other. Now look at the following example (output attached):

\version "2.19.3"

<< \new Staff <<

\new Voice = "one" { \voiceOne c'4 c' c'8 c' c'4 }

\new Voice = "two" { \voiceTwo s4 s c' s }

>>

\new Lyrics \lyricsto "one" {

foo \set associatedVoice = "two"

foo \set associatedVoice = "one"

bar

bar

}

>>

The associated voice has to be set one syllable early, which I did, only the lyrics "come back" to voice "one" one note early: it should be for the last quaver and not for the second crotchet. It seems to me that the roots of this problem lie very deep. An optimal fix would of course be to make the effect of \set associatedVoice enter immediately rather than one syllable later, but this is probably far away.
Can anyone think of a workaround?

In case someone might ask why this is necessary, I attach what I already have of the entire lied also. The \makeOctaves function is from LSR 445 and I added it to scm/music-functions.scm or a similar one in order to always have it at hand.

Best regards,

Simon
