limitation with ignoreMelismata?

[Erik Sandberg]

Hi,

I'm afraid that the combination ignoreMelismata + melisma[End] is still not 
enough. Consider the following:

\version "2.1.16"
\score {
  <<
  \notes {c4 c c c}
  \context LyricsVoice=A \lyrics { foo2. __  bar4 }
  \context LyricsVoice=B \lyrics { foo2 -- baz4 bar }
  \context LyricsVoice=C \lyrics { foo -- baz4 -- baaz bar }
  >>
}

I can't see how I would produce the same output using \lyricsto.

(An analogous situation does occur in a real piece that I am typesetting)

One way of making it possible would be to add a new kind of empty lyric, which 
\lyricsto would kill and extend the duration of the preceding note to fill 
the space.
i.e., if the notation would be K, the above would become
\notes {c \melisma c c \melismaEnd c }
{ foo __ bar }
{ \property LyricsVoice . ignoreMelismata = ##t   foo -- K baz bar }
{ \property LyricsVoice . ignoreMelismata = ##t   foo -- baz -- baaz bar }

(I see now that it is not very clean; my brain hurts when I think about cases 
like "foo -- K __ baz")


And by the way this shows a bug, too (?): No extender line is produced in the 
first stanza of the above piece. This is apparently because of the baz4 in 
voice C, but I don't understand why this would make any sense.

As a small bonus, I found a manual typo:
html/input/regression/out-www/collated-files.html#lyric-combine-new.ly
says "With the newaddlyrics mechanism, ...". "newaddlyrics" should be 
"lyricsto", right?

thanks,
Erik
