After a 20+ years hiatus from LaTeX use, I've again found reasons to wet my toes again.
I'm trying to typeset some verse with LilyPond - where the verse text includes hyphens (endashes, or possibly emdashes), but it's not as straightforward as I had hoped using LilyPond. Maybe someone can help.
The original verse text looks like this i LaTeX:
"Må det väckta sinnet -- värdefullt, sublimt --"
and I want those endashes to appear in the lyrics below as well. But they don't.
Can someone help me out with this?
\begin{lilypond}
% set the starting point to middle C
\relative c' { c c c c c c d d d d c r }
% The -- endash:es disappear. I would like to see them between the words "sinnet" and "värdefullt", as well as after "sublimt".
\addlyrics {Må det väck- ta sin- net -- vär- de- fullt sub- limt -- }
