Hello Philip, you might use markup-lists. In markups, the parens are typeset: --snip-- \version "2.15.40" % should run in 2.14 % define a music-function, to convert a markup-list to a list of LyricEvents lyricmarkup = #(define-music-function (parser location mup)(markup-list?) (make-music 'SequentialMusic 'elements (map (lambda (syl) (make-music 'LyricEvent 'text syl 'duration (ly:make-duration 2 0 1 1))) mup))) % a test << \new Staff \new Voice = "mel" \relative c'' { c4. b8 a4 cis } \new Lyrics \lyricsto "mel" \lyricmode { \lyricmarkup \markuplist { (oo bi doo) } % override can't be inside markuplist! \once \override LyricText #'self-alignment-X = #LEFT didididididididididi } >> --snip--But you can't use lyric-overrides inside the markup-list - so if you use a lot them, this will not be helpful :-(
... and using \lyricmarkup \markuplist {} is a lot to type ... But still, you might try it ;-) Cheers, Jan-Peter On 11.06.2012 15:04, Philip Thomas wrote:
Dear fellow-users, I'm working on a vocal piece in which some lyrics are in parentheses, but the opening parentheses don't appear in the output PDF file. The closing parentheses are fine. By way of example, here's a couple of bars from the piece: ================ \version "2.14.2" \relative c' << \new Voice = "melody" { \time 12/8 fis2.( f | a4.) a4 g8 g4 f8 f4. | } \new Lyrics \lyricsto "melody" { blue __ (oo -- by -- doo -- by -- doo) } ================ I have looked but haven't succeeded in finding a reference to this in the documentation or on the forum, but at this stage I don't feel confident in reporting it as a bug. Any advice would be appreciated. Apologies, as usual, if I've missed an existing solution or explanation. BTW, I know that I can solve the problem with a work-around, e.g. enclosing the syllable concerned in quotes as "(oo" produces the correct result, but it's not a very elegant solution, especially for repeated instances.
