Re: Switching lyrics to italic in the same syllabe

[Marek Klein]

Hello
2012/1/27 Nils <address@hidden>

I have lyrics here which need switching to italics during a syllabe. It the following example it is "phi" where the "i", and everything after, needs to be italic.

Se --  ra --  ph \override LyricText #'font-shape = #'italic i --  nen

If I do it like this the "i" moves to the next syllabe which is wrong.
When removing either the space after "ph" or before "i" I get errors.

You have to use \concat

Se --  ra -- \concat { ph \override LyricText #'font-shape = #'italic i } --  nen
