Hi, I'm doing an arrangement of a song, where the different stanzas in different parts have different dynamics. I know I can mark an entire stanza as forte, piano etc., using the trick int he snippets repository, but how do I do it in the middle of a verse? I've tried adding New_dynamic_engraver to the Lyrics context, and that sort-of works, but the resulting dynamic marks often collide with the text --- particularly crescendo/diminuendo spanners.
Is there a simple way to do this, or do I have to play with tweaks to move the dynamic marks around? Here's an example: ------------------ \version "2.12.0" vA=\lyrics { \set stanza = #"1. " "" \p \cresc This4 verse gets loud -- er \f \dim then soft -- er \p } vB=\lyrics { \set stanza = #"2. " "" \p \dim This4 verse gets soft -- er \pp \cresc then loud -- er \f } \score { << \context Lyrics = vOne \vA \context Lyrics = vTwo \vB >> \layout { \context { \Lyrics \consists "New_dynamic_engraver" } } } -- Dr Peter Chubb http://www.gelato.unsw.edu.au peterc AT gelato.unsw.edu.au http://www.ertos.nicta.com.au ERTOS within National ICT Australia _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
