Lyrics / text distribution with tied duration


Recommended Posts

Hello!

 

I am hoping to get some help applying text to a list of durations longer than a bar.  The :text key in def-score applies each syllable of text onto each new bar, even when the duration is tied through.

 

Instead, I want each new syllable to be applied to each new note.  I know that I can use dashes in the lyrics to connect through ties, but as I am generating very large numbers of tied notes it is impractical to count out exactly the right number of dashes each time.

 

Is there a way to do what I want?  Thank you!

 

Elliot
