Re: Text markup in lyrics

[Mats Bengtsson]

What is the problem? Is the problem that the \markup{...} is treated as
an extra syllable, whereas you want it inserted at the end of a
syllable? Then, why not simply include that syllable in the markup
as well? Something like

mylyrics = \lyricmode {
  Here comes a \markup{ word \raise #1.0 \musicglyph #"scripts.rcomma" }
  fol -- lowed by a breath }


It is always much easier to answer a question if you include a small
but complete example of what you tried.
