Title: Grace note slur-misses lyrics
Post by: llucyy on 2005-08-15 03:18 AM
How do you enter a grace note with the slur to the full note, and then get the lyric syllable to stay on that note?I never noticed this before.If you just put the grace note in with the full note, the lyric syllable sits where it should, but if you slur the grace note to the full note the lyric syllable jumps to the next note.

G'day llucyy,
Have you tried setting the "Lyric Syllable" paramater in the Grace notes' properties?  All same as for a non-grace note.

What you're seeing is the normal action of a slur on lyrics.

Thanks Lawrie, but all that does is put the lyric syllable under the slur between the grace and whole notes.Doesn't look good.

Hi llucyy,
can't say I've noticed an alignment problem.  Just did a quick test and noticed in NWC1 that I had to make both notes "lyric syllable always" but thats about it.

In both editor and preview they seem alright to me.
