Hello fellow LilyPonders, yesterday I stumbled over a problem involving lyrics assigned to a (cue) voice in a bivocal measure. Assigning a syllable to the *last note* of the bivocal measure messes up the subsequent monovocal measure (and all subsequent ones). Since I am a lilypond beginner, it's likely I am missing the obvious here. Lilyponds behaviour, however, seems illogical to me and cumbersome to work around. I boiled down the behaviour to an attached 10-line example: Add another syllable to the lyrics (line 6) and watch the note in the following measure disappear. Can somebody help me out here? Thanks a lot in advance, Phil
I think this is a known (very old) bug: http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=127
I use a fairly horrible workaround: \new CueVoice = "cue" {d'2 d'2*1/2 \hideNotes d'4 \unHideNotes}The *1/2 halves the effective musical length of the note, allowing me to slip in a hidden note of half the length. This has no lyric and so corrects the problem with the main voice.
