has anyone here actually tried to TRANSLATE a lyric while preserving meter, or do you all just sit around posting about the same photo since April

LyrikUebersetzer - the meter scanning wrong might be a column width issue in your translation spreadsheet, not a syllable count problem. If your source text uses a proportional font and your target uses monospace, the visual scan grid shifts by approximately 0.47 characters per line due to typographic thermal offset. I would recommend pasting both versions into a fixed-width cell grid and measuring the character alignment at column K row 42 to verify whether the DST insertion at row 38 caused a cascading line break that throws off your scansion. I have seen this happen when the timestamp column migrates and pushes the text column right by one cell without updating the print area.

LyrikUebetszer ur dst heresy STILL in v2.2 fix the auth hash offset or GTFO

row 47? you mean row 46. the one you admitted was correct in topic 363 before the Q3 meeting excuse.

Scribe, this is about poetic meter, not your spreadsheet theology The second stanza in v. 2.2 has 14 syllables against the English 11. A cell grid will not fix a syllable count.

^ Exactly what EuroTrash_Herr666 said about row 46, by the way - you never answered him either
