Subject: More on lyrics alignment and the repeat option (repeat percent)
Date: Thu, 28 Apr 2005 13:21:58 -0400
Dear lilypond users,
I noticed that in the discussion log, there is quite a lot already about
lyrics and alignment but I quite didn't see the problem I am having now. I
believe it is a bug.
When using repeat percent, the lyrics do not get aligned with the
"//"(repeat) sign according to the number of repetitions of the note.
Here the full example (please ignore keys and tempos. The example was not
taken from western music ):
\version "2.5.2"
melody = \context Voice = "singer" \relative c'' {
\clef treble
g2( a2)
\repeat "percent" 2 { g4 }
g4 e4 f2 f4 e4 d2
\bar "|"
f4 f2( g4) g4 e2
\bar "|."
}
firstVerse = \lyricmode {
\set stanza = "1."
Heav'n and earth are u -- ni -- ted to -- day
for Christ __ is born.
}
global = {
\key d \minor
\override Staff.TimeSignature #'transparent = ##t
\set Score.defaultBarType = "empty"
}
music = {
<<
\context Staff = "melody" <<
\global
\melody
>>
\lyricsto "singer" \new Lyrics \firstVerse
>>
}
\book{
\score{
% If I comment the \unfoldrepeats here the lyrics are no longer correct
\unfoldrepeats{
\music
}
\layout { }
\header{
opus= ""
piece ="piece"
}
}
}
When I comment the unfoldrepeats section, then the lyrics get shifted.
Please Look at the PDF files attached (generated with and without the
unfoldrepeats option).
The unfolded version is correct. In the unfolded version what I believe is
correct, is that the word "earth" get's right below to the // (repeat)
sign. Furthermore, if I had a repeat 7 instead of two, then the seven
following syllabes should get associated to the same // sign.
I am a 5 hour newby. My apologies if I am making somthing wrong and the fix
is trivial.
Thanks in advance,
Luis
