Dear Lilypond Community,
I’m highly unsatisfied with the readability of my melismatic notes in modern notation. The spacing seems to be off, with the slur placing the right-most note almost as if it were a part of the next lyric’s note. I’ve searched in vain (quite some time!) for a way to adjust the horizontal spacing of the slur.
Example (using lilypond 2.18.2)
\score {
\new Staff \relative c' {
\time 3/4
\key g \major
e4( f) g | f( d) fis |
\new Staff \relative c' {
\time 3/4
\key g \major
e4( f) g | f( d) fis |
}
}
\addlyrics {
San -- ctus | San -- ctus |
San -- ctus | San -- ctus |
}
Produces the following output:
I would like to adjust the horizontal spacing so that the last note of the slur is more near the first. It almost appears, without the slur as if the “ctus" is the melismatic syllable.
I greatly appreciate any pointers, and apologize for any posting standards I have not followed. Your mercy is appreciated!!
