Re: [Denemo-devel] Lyrics

[Nils Gey]

I really really like the new system. This is such a huge improvement. 
Multiline-box, a frame instead of a floating window: great!
I said this very often and again: This frame should be always there (hide on 
click a button maybe) and should also be the place where all logs and errors 
should be written to, including the ones from the console. Maybe tabbed, too. 
Lilypond output, errors and warnings and of course new tabs on the fly for 
functions like the new lyrics-systems!

Great work!

Bugs:

"Fi -- nal" is rendered on two notes in lilypond, which is correct, but on 
three in Denemo. " -- ", including leading and tailing whitespace, is not its 
own syllabe but the connector in lilypond.  (but " - " is its own syllabe.)

Vers one is shown twice/n-times where n is the number of verses. In 
lilypond-view only the first verse is shown multiple times.

If you have verse 1, 2 and 3 and delete number two the remaining ones in the 
tab are still 1 and 3 and not 1 and 2. Don't know if this has any influence on 
the lilypond output. If you save, quit and reload its verse 1 and 2 then.  So 
this should not be a problem.
