Re: Repeat question

[Jacques Menu Muzhic]

Hello David,

You’re right, there’s no point in my remark about the skip on the glissando stop!

There’s no lyrics attached to the F, but all of MuseScore, Finale and musicxml2ly interpret the glissando stop in that case as a skip in the lyrics:

I don't understand. Where a lyric is given, a lyric is printed.
Where it isn't, there's a note without a lyric. In LP, that
necessitates a skip because the lyrics in LP are sequential,
so there has to be a cipher/null/zero/placeholder.

The first glissando has a lyric for both notes, "normal" on the
starting note and "glissando" on the note that stops it.

       <pitch>
         <step>G</step>
         <octave>4</octave>
