Re: Lyrics independent of notes

[Mats Bengtsson]

Hold the horses, there seems to be a regression bug lurking
around here. I happened to have a copy of 2.11.34 installed
and using that, the two lyric lines in the following example
have the same alignment, whereas with 2.11.56 all syllables
of the bottom line are left aligned with the notes. I definitely
prefer the behaviour of 2.11.34.

mylyrics = \lyricmode {
 Default
 \override LyricText #'self-alignment-X = #LEFT Left
 \override LyricText #'self-alignment-X = #CENTER Center
 \override LyricText #'self-alignment-X = #RIGHT Right
}

<<
\new Staff \new Voice = v {c' d' e' f'}
\new Staff \new Voice {c'2 d'4 e'8 f'8}
\new Lyrics \lyricsto v \mylyrics
\new Lyrics \mylyrics
