Re: Automatically convert beams [ ] into slurs ( ) to indicate melisma (was undefined)

[Calixte Faure]

Hi Paul,

Thanks a lot for snippet!

Here’s an example with words and autoBeamOff. The idea is to have both traditional and modern vocal engraving with a unique source.

music = {
  \time 2/4
  | c'8[ d'] e' f'
  | g'[ a'] b' c''
}
words = {
  la li lo
  la li lo
}

<<
  {\autoBeamOff \music}
  \addlyrics {\words}
  {\beamsToSlurs \music}
  \addlyrics {\words}
>>

Regards,

Calixte.

I've added this \beamsToSlurs snippet to the LSR:
http://lsr.di.unimi.it/LSR/Item?u=1&id=998

I don't think the music example illustrates the use case as well as it
could.  If anyone has a better example, reply with it here and I can replace
the music in the snippet with it.
