Re: Long syllable vs. span bar

[Torsten Hämmerle]

Hi Simon,

Probably the easiest way to achieve this is just to use *ChoirStaff* and add
the Span_bar_engraver to get the bar lines.
That way, Lyrics will nonchalantly cross the bar lines as if they weren't
there and by setting the whiteout property, you're there.

I've just adapted your original coding to your needs:

\version "2.19.80" 

\paper { 
   line-width = 110 
   indent = 0 
} 

\score { 
   \new ChoirStaff \with { \consists "Span_bar_engraver" } << 
     { 4 4 4 4~ 4 8 8 4 4~ 4 8 8 2 } 
     \addlyrics { 
       \override LyricText.whiteout = ##t
       a ver -- y looong __ syl -- la -- ble, 
       looong __ syl -- la -- ble 
     } 
     { 1 1 1 } 
   >> 
} 


HTH,
Torsten
