It is also possible to define melismata entirely in the lyrics. This
can be done by entering _
for every note that is part of the
melisma.
{ \set melismaBusyProperties = #'() c d( e) f f( e) e e } \addlyrics { Ky -- _ _ ri __ _ _ _ e }
In this case, you can also have ties and slurs in the melody, if you
set melismaBusyProperties
, as is done in the example above.
{ \set melismaBusyProperties = #'() c d( e) f f( e) e e } \addlyrics { Ky -- _ _ ri __ _ _ _ e }
