Re: Syllables not centered under notes after volta

[Eduardo Vieira]

Hello Eyolf! 
It looks like a bug. Why would it be left-aligned after all? But it appears 
that Lilypond didn't like this structure of creating 2 voices contexts, 
namely "stollen" and "abgesang", and then, in the score block, creating 
another voice context (called "one") comprising them. So, if you just 
eliminate the context "stollen" and assign lyrics to "one", instead, 
everything is fine. See instructions: 
=>Replace: 
%melody: 
\context Voice = stollen { 
        \repeat volta 2 { 
        \partial 2 
        g'2 | fis4 g a2 a | g4 a b2 c | 
        b4 a g2 fis4( g) | a2 g 
%repeated music 
} 
} 

=>With: 
%melody: 
        \repeat volta 2 { 
        \partial 2 
        g'2 | fis4 g a2 a | g4 a b2 c | 
        b4 a g2 fis4( g) | a2 g 
%repeated music 
} 

=>And replace: 
\lyricsto "stollen" 

=>With: 
\lyricsto "one" 

I'm not in a position to judge it a bug. I'm a beginner. So, I'll let the 
experts have their judgement. 

Best regards, 

Eduardo Vieira

Subject: Syllables not centered under notes after volta 


I've encountered a strange problem: 
After a section with volta, the lyrics are not centered under their notes, 
but 
are instead left-aligned. 

In the following example, the lyrics for textAbgesang are left-aligned. I 
can't see why that should be. Is it a bug, or is there something that I've 
missed?
