 Hi,

 In the following example, why are the lyrics correct in the first bars,
 but are failing when I add a legato slur ??


 \version "2.19.8"

 mymelody =  \relative c' {
   c4 c4 g'4 g4 |
   a4 a4 g2 |
   \break

   c,4( c4 g'4 g4 |
   a4 a4 g2) \bar "|."
 }

 mylyrics =  \lyricmode { Twin- kle twin- kle lit- tle star }

 \score {
   <<
     \new Staff <<
       \context Voice = "mymelody" { \mymelody }
       \new Lyrics \lyricsto "mymelody" { \mylyrics \mylyrics }
> > > >
   \layout {}
 }


Because this is how singers expect melisma to be expressed: please see melisma in the NR. The simplest option (if you really want to confuse your singers) is to use a phrasing slur.


I see. Thank you.
