Hi
1) what is the correct thing to do with a lyric and a tie ?
Should one use an extender like with a melisma ? Thus
a~ a
Fish __
Lilypond seems tolerant if I don't add the extender
a~ a
Fish
2) Also, I am finding extenders and hyphens get mixed up if I do extend
ties.
E.g.
a1~ | a1 | es1~ | es1
Moun __ -- tains
What I see after type setting is something like
/--------------\ /-----------\
o o o o
_ _ <- First hyphen
overlaps with extender
Moun______ tains_____
3) Finally, on a matter of style of lyrics and punctuation. Is it good style
to
see punctuation (e.g. a full stop or comma) before an extender ?
E.g.
a~ a
Fish. __
If not, what should one do ? Leave out the punctuation or try and
poke it in after the extender somehow ?
cheers
Neil
