New issue 2597 by address@hidden: Consecutive melismata possible
error in NR
http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=2597
Reported by Philip Thomas here:
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-lilypond/2012-06/msg00091.html
I was able to reproduce Philip's report and the documentation seems to be
misleading. I think perhaps the doc author's intention was to warn the
casual user that you cannot abut \melismaEnd and \melisma i.e. there must
be a note between those directives
Text of bug report follows:
-------------------
Hi,
The following appears in NR v.2.14.2, section 2.1.1, Common notation for
vocal music, Multiple notes to one syllable (see page 233 of PDF version):
========================
An unslurred group of notes will be treated as a melisma if they are
bracketed between \melisma and \melismaEnd.
<<
\new Voice = "melody" {
\time 3/4
f4 g8
\melisma
f e f
\melismaEnd
e2.
}
\new Lyrics \lyricsto "melody" {
Ky -- ri -- e
}
[
]
Note that this method cannot be used to indicate two melismata if the first
one is immediately followed by another.
========================
My question concerns the last sentence (¨Note that ...¨). I think the method
_can_ be used to indicate two consecutive melismata, e.g. the following
seems to work just fine, to me:
\relative c''
<<
\new Voice = "melody" {
\time 3/4
f4 g8
\melisma
f e f
\melismaEnd
g8
\melisma
f e f
\melismaEnd
e2.
}
\new Lyrics \lyricsto "melody" {
E -- le -- i -- son
}
If something else was intended, the sentence should be clarified. I can't
imagine how one melisma could actually commence on the last note of an
immediately previous melisma; if it did, there would only be one melisma
overall, not two. Unless I'm missing the point, then the sentence should
simply be deleted.
Cheers,
Philip Thomas
