Next: Extenders and hyphens, Previous: Multiple notes to one syllable, Up: Aligning lyrics to a melody
Making a lyric line run slower than the melody can be achieved by
inserting \skip
s into the lyrics. For every \skip
,
the text will be delayed another note. The \skip
command
must be followed by a valid duration, but this is ignored when
\skip
is used in lyrics.
For example,
\relative c' { c c g' } \addlyrics { twin -- \skip 4 kle }
