Hi Kieren,
without even looking at your example, to be honest, but a shot in the dark:
Fo you still remember David's and Mike's "magnetic snapping lyrics"?
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-user/2014-03/msg00489.html
This snippet eventually went into OpenLilyLib, and was apparently
rediscovered as non-working about a year ago by Urs, see
http://lilypond.1069038.n5.nabble.com/Is-the-lyric-syllable-magnetic-snap-snippet-obsolete-td204403.html
Not sure about the problems that are claimed to exist, and not sure
where I got my last version from or whether I privately patched it; but
I couldn't find any issues with it few weeks ago. I attach my most
recent copy...
To be used with, IIRC, \include and
\layout {
\context {
\Lyrics
\override LyricWord.after-line-breaking = #(lyric-word-compressor 0)
}
}
(and I have no idea anymore what's the 0 got to do with it, and what
changes if you use other values...)
To see in action:
http://www.cpdl.org/wiki/index.php/Es_ist_ein_Ros%27_entsprungen_(Melchior_Vulpius)
- first system: entsprung -- en (instead of ent -- sprung -- en)
- last system: Blümlein (instead of Blüm -- lein)
(source files are there, too)
But I only ever used it in the "usual" applications with notes, and
never tried on a pure chord sheet.
HTH nevertheless,
Alex

Hi all,
In the snippet below, I’m trying to develop some custom contexts so that people
can write out lyrics with chords (but no music).
Right now, I’m trying to fix two things:
1. I want to eliminate all LyricHyphens entirely, and present words as complete words
(rather than syllables). This would be solved, of course, if we had a "first-class
citizen" LyricWord grob (q.v. the discussion a few years ago during Janek’s GSOC
Lyrics work). Short of that, what can I do to squeeze out all LyricHyphens and spaces
between syllables?
2. I want lyrics to be naturally spaced (i.e., not affected at all by the duration of the
notes they are attached to). In the first line of output from the snippet, there are
spaces "Mary ____ had a ____ little lamb" etc. How can I eliminate those?
Thanks,
Kieren.
