Re: Re: Issue 2245: always align dynamics and lyrics on "main" notehead (issue 108270044 by address@hidden)

[markpolesky]

This patch is problematic for me.

Firstly, when a lyric syllable extends to the next note (as with a slur
or tie), it is my understanding that the lyric text should be
left-aligned with the left-most note of the chord.  See Issue 3521:
http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=3521

This patch prevents the 3521 workaround from working, which is bad IMO.

Secondly, to my eye, I think the ideal alignment for a center-aligned
syllable on a harmonic second ("suspended") dyad would be center-aligned
with the stem, and not with the NoteColumn.  No idea how easy or hard
that would be to code, but that's what I would vote for.  The
"corrected" example given in comment #1 here looks too far to the right
to me, and so do the dynamics in the following comment:
