Re: Re : [Lyrics] Ignoring tie

[Bill Mooney]

Greetings Carlo,
While seeking enlightenment on another matter I found this in the 
Notation manual
Does it solve the tie/slur lyric problem you were having?
Hope this helps
Regards
Bill


       Ignoring melismata

One possibility is that the text has a melisma in one stanza, but 
multiple syllables in another. One solution is to make the faster voice 
ignore the melisma. This is done by setting |ignoreMelismata| in the 
Lyrics context.

   <<
      \relative c' \new Voice = "lahlah" {
        \set Staff.autoBeaming = ##f
        c4
        \slurDotted
        f8.[( g16])
        a4
      }
      \new Lyrics \lyricsto "lahlah" {
        more slow -- ly
      }
      \new Lyrics \lyricsto "lahlah" {
        go
        \set ignoreMelismata = ##t
        fas -- ter
        \unset ignoreMelismata
        still
      }

       Known issues and warnings

Unlike most |\set| commands, |\set ignoreMelismata| does not work if 
prefixed with |\once|. It is necessary to use |\set| and |\unset| to 
bracket the lyrics where melismata are to be ignored.
