Re: sponsorship offer: \lyricsto with \partcombine

[Mats Bengtsson]

The problem is the alignment (centered or not) of syllables to note heads.
Compare the 2nd and 4th line of lyrics in the following example:


textI = \lyricmode {a4 bb ccc ddd }
textII = \lyricmode {eee fff gg h }

music = \relative c'{c d e f}

\score{
<<
 \new Voice = m \music
 \new Lyrics \lyricsto m \textI
 \new Lyrics \lyricsto m \textII
 \new Devnull = dn \music
 \new Lyrics \lyricsto dn \textI
 \new Lyrics \lyricsto dn \textII
%  \new Lyrics \textI
%  \new Lyrics \textII
%  \new Lyrics {\set associatedVoice = "m" \textI }
%  \new Lyrics {\set associatedVoice = "m" \textII }
>>
}

\layout{ragged-right = ##t }
