Hello,
Some German lyrics from before the times of Neue Deutsche
Rechtschreibung
feature ck between two syllables. Without Hyphen it is
"lecker", with
hyphen
it is "lek-ker". Using lec -- ker or lek -- ker ( on purpose
not le --
cker)
the hyphen may or may not appear. Is there anything beyond
trial and
error
to avoid lec-ker or lekker?
Some time ago there was an idea of introducing "lek == ker"
for forcing
a hyphen but otherwise no change to formatting compared to
"lek -- ker".
Has there happened anything since (I did not find anything
in the 2.16
doc)?
The following should make it:
\context {
\Lyrics
\override LyricHyphen #'minimum-distance = #1
}
I think Klaus did not ask for forcing the hyphen to be visible, or
forcing it to be hidden, but instead choose the letters depending on
whether the hyphen appears or not in that place (with automatic
deduction how cramped the space is).
So this boils down to finding a functional hyphenation algorithm for
each language.
If no hyphen is needed, then write "lecker". Otherwise write "lek-ker".
On a side note, I didn't know this German hyphenation variant. In Dutch
we have similar constructs involving the use (or not) of accents, such
as in "zoëven/zo-even" and "beëdigde/be-edigde/beë-dig-de/" involving
even more than one variant.
