Remember that I suggest applying the "lyrics" rule as a second pass. So: "re-al" and "Teak-holz" are the results of the first pass, then: Teakholz isn't interesting at all as it doesn't have vowels at syllable borders. The "e" and the "a" in "real" wouldn't match either because they *are* vowels at syllable borders - but hyphenating them would leave the "r" or the "l", which are no syllables anymore. So the rule would be "vowels at the border of syllables with at least three letters (and at least one other vowel?) can be hyphenated as a syllable in lyrics".Please give some examples. I think I don't fully understand what you are really talking about.And of course I don't think it's necessary to catch 100% of the cases. I'd say anything that is better than 50% is an improvement ...The very problem is to not introduce false positives, which can be easily missed.
OK, point taken.But I still think it should be possible to define some rules to apply as a second pass to lyrics that have been hyphenated by Frescobaldi, and I think this should be possible without false positives (although being strict on this may leave out a few border cases that are *not* hyphenated automatically.
1) A leading vowel may be split from a syllable (trailing vowels are never hyphenated)
2) Diphtongs are note separated 3) The remaining syllable must have at least two characters 4) One of the remaining characters must be a vowelExamples (always: original -> default hyphenation -> [ additional hyphenation | comment ]):
oder -> oder -> o -- der hallo -> hal -- lo -> "lo" is not hyphenated because of rule 3 lauwarm -> lau -- warm -> rule 2 ich -> ich -> rule 4 ist -> ist -> rule 4 Rebe -> Re -- be -> rule 3Adele (name) -> Ade -- le -> A -- de -- le -> "de" and "le" not split because of rule 3 Esche -> Esche -> E -- sche -> not Esch -- e because of rule 1 (same with a -- de and not ad -- e)
Reise -> Rei -- se -> "Rei" is not split because of rule 2This all goes for German, in other languages it may not fully work. I know at least that in Italian and Latin there are combinations of two vowels and trailing vowels that may be hyphenated (music may set Ky -- ri -- e or e -- le -- i -- son (or e -- lei -- son)).
I'm not sure how to proceed, but I think that e.g. Frescobaldi could produce the hyphenation according to the dictionaries like it does already and then apply the additional rules to the results. Should not be too hard to implement, at least if there are no complex issues with languages. Probably the rules should be defined independently and according to the language they are used/applied or not.
But please correct me if I'm still missing anything. Best Urs
