Re: Grace Notes + Lyrics

[Mats Bengtsson]

The easiest is simply to put an empty syllable in the lyrics,
\version "2.6.0"
\score{
<<
 \relative c''{g4 \grace bes8 a a r4 f8 g}
 \addlyrics {Land: _ Er -- de, und die }
>>
}

but maybe it's more idiomatic typesetting to use a acciaccatura
instead (I'm not sure what the standard typesetting practice is, though).

\version "2.6.0"
\score{
<<
 \relative c''{g4 \acciaccatura bes8 a a r4 f8 g}
 \addlyrics {Land: Er -- de, und die }
>>
}
