Re: Verses with Different Rhythms

[Mats Bengtsson]

It seems that you use version 2.2, which includes new support
for exactly this situation with different number of syllables
in different verses, using the ignoreMelismata property.
See 
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.2/Documentation/user/out-www/lilypond/The-Lyrics-context.html#The%20Lyrics%20context
and the referenced example.

Regarding the dashed slurs, it seems this feature has never been
implemented for Ties, only for slurs. For some strange reason, the
\tieDotted macro is predefined anyway. I'll post a bug report.
