Re: Lyrics

[Robert Schmaus]

I see two options:


1) Instead of using \chd with your proper chords in it, you could just 
create a dummy chord voice like

dummy = \chordmode { \repeat unfold n  { c1 } }

and use that to associate the Lyrics Staff with. That way you definitely 
have one "stop" per measure.

I don't really get that problem of non-aligned measures with the text. 
It works nicely with Lily 2.16.0. Except of course if a text passage is 
already too long to fit in a whole line, but I don't see how this is a 
Lilypond problem.
Apparently, you still need to use chordmode for that dummy line - it 
didn't work otherwise here.


2) Someone else can suggest a better approach than mine (that's not 
unlikely - I have used Lilypond for quite a while now, but always for 
rather basic stuff like Jazz Leadsheets).
Also, when I tried out my solution, I wasn't at my own computer but used 
the online editor Lilybin instead ... now that I'm back at my machine, I 
see that my approach works, but produces many warnings on the console - 
so it'd be probably even a good idea if someone else did suggest a 
different approach ...
