Normally this works great, but once in a blue moon I run into a spot where it doesn’t work. This is one. The screenshot above results in this (in the file, it’s page 3, system 2):
Which is not what it’s supposed to look like! This happens maybe one times out of a hundred, but when it happens, I have no idea how to fix it. I really have to think it’s a bug in the lyric editor.
What glyph are you using for those curves? Could it be underscore, or something else that the Lyric editor alters?
Are there particular letters on either side when it goes wrong?
Mind you, T’ward has served well these last 400 years or so.
It’s a custom glyph I made starting from the Dorico elision mark and modifying it. The odd thing is that, when I type “Toward” as a lyric on the previous page and insert the exact same series of keystrokes, it works correctly.
Don’t get me started on the client requests for this project…
Dan, while I don’t have your main text font, I can confirm that there is something wonky going on here. That said, if I delete the word, and re-enter it, I can get the desired result, so see if that works for you.
As an aside, I bless you regularly for liturgico. I use it daily and it is so wonderful.
I must be missing something obvious. When I enter a lyric, then edit that lyric (edit single lyric) it puts the elisions under multiple notes and all looks fine. However, when I click ok and return to write mode I get a normal single elision. It works fine in block text.
Well that is odd… I had tried deleting and re-inputting it. It was the first thing I did. But when I opened the file this morning and tried it again, it worked.
Ah yes. Ive encountered this exact issue before. My default font is set to 98% and so adding special characters via this dialogue takes a little extra attention.
