Re: More lyrics questions/comments (update)

[Stan Sanderson]

Sorry- I should have mentioned that I was using lilypond 2.1.6, 
installed through Fink on Mac OS 10.2.8, GCC 3.3 enabled. I've used a 
local tree and updated the info and patch files.

I just finished reinstalling 2.1.6 after a frustrating hour with 2.1.8. 
I was unable to produce melismas with consistency. Using the same form 
which appeared to produce melismas in one section resulted in blank 
space in others.

I would provide examples, but I needed a "working" version of lilypond. 
I realize it probably is something I've overlooked; perhaps the 2.1.8 
version has different depends requirements.

When lilypond works, it is amazing.
