Re: Problem getting syllables onto tied note across bar end

Henry,

Sorry. I just realized that I didn't answer your question quite correctly (though what I said is true). What you need to do is move the start of the slur to the last a in the first measure and things should be just fine:

melody = \relative c'' {

\clef treble

\key a \major

\time 4/4

b8. b16 b16 cis8 a16~ a8. e16 fis8 a16 a~ ( |

a8 fis ) r4 r2 |

r2 r4 r8 a16 a |

}

Remember: Indicate the start of the slur AFTER the note you want it to start on and AFTER the note you want it to end on.

I am having a problem getting my lyrics to fit across a group of notes
which contain a tie. Here's the smallest possible example:

\version "2.16.2"
melody = \relative c'' {
\clef treble
\key a \major
\time 4/4
b8. b16 b16 cis8 a16~ a8. e16 fis8 a16 ( a~ |
a8 fis ) r4 r2 |
r2 r4 r8 a16 a |
}
text = \lyricmode {
da da da a da a -- one two three
}
\score {
<<
\new Voice = "mel" { \melody }
\new Lyrics \lyricsto mel \text
>>
\layout {
\context { \Staff \RemoveEmptyStaves }
}
}

The way I coded it, the syllable "three" is intended to fall on the last
A (16th) of the first bar and run over the a8 fis of the next bar. But
as can be seen in http://www.lawshouse.org/music/problem01.pdf the slur
doesn't start on the last 16th but on the previous one, and the syllable
"two" is assigned to the three A's and the F#, leaving the syllable
"three" to match up with the 16th A's after the rests.

What am I doing wrong?
