Re: lyrics in cadenza

[Helge Kruse]

Hello Phil,

 

thanks for reply. I tried to fix this with \skip as well as with \melisma. Unfortunately both failed.

 

When I use \skip I get near to the expected result. Inside the cadenza I have to use manual beaming. As long as I leave the last four quavers without beaming brackets Lilypond sets the lyrics fine. When I try to put the brackets to the quavers, the lyrics disappear although I adapt the \skip repeat count accordingly.

 

When I use \melisma and \melismaEnd I get the same bad result as I got with the slur. Removing the cadenza lets the lyrics appear. But there is really a cadenza. (see autograph)

 

Additionally the first variant with \skip compiles completely different with Lilypond 2.14.2. It has the same lyrics problem, but the strange line break is new with 2.15.40.

 

Regards

Helge

Please check the documentation for \skip or \melisma which should do what

you want.
