Re: Re lyrics question
Abraham,
You are right. First I had to discover what a melisma was. Now I
know. At the beginning of the learning curve, I have a lot to learn. I
think the LSR is a place for a lot of study. Thanks.

Bill,
The only thing I don't like is the use of the underscore to skip notes
in the lyrics. Since this manually creates a melisma, it makes the
syllable in each verse (except the third) shift unnaturally to the
right, relative to its notehead, while the third verse is all lined up
correctly. Other than that, LGTM!

Re: Lyrics question
The vertical alignment of text scripts is calculated based on the
distance from the note head or the stave (whichever is closest to
the text script). Maybe one trick to keep the different text
scripts vertically aligned is to attach them to spacing notes in
a separate Voice context:
{ d4 cs } \new Voice {\fatText s4^Brown s^Oh, }
This should place all the words vertically aligned.
Then you can set the padding property of the TextScript object
to move the words up or down.
However, I would recommend to use a separate lyrics line with
explicit durations on each syllables for these situations:
\new Lyrics \lyricmode {
% Skip the first 20 bars:
\skip 1*20
Brown4 Oh,
}
/Mats

Carl,
For just a few measures of differing lyrics, I've used the \fatText
tag. It is not elegant,
but seems much easier than the extra lyric section. Here's an example
from an arrangement
of Winter Wonderland (And pretend that he is Parson Brown) where the
bass part sings
Brown, Oh, Parson while the other parts hold Brown.
\fatText d4_\markup{Brown,} \fatText cs4_\markup { Oh, }
\fatText b4_\markup { Par- }\fatText a4_\markup { son. }
\fatText keeps the notes aligned with each note. The one problem I
encountered is that the words are not always vertically aligned. I
don't understand the
vertical alignment units/properties enough to know how to fix that. It
was just one spot and I decided
to let it be good enough the way it was.

I'm doing a choral piece that has the same lyrics for all parts for
almost all of it, except for a few measures where there is a split.
What is the best way to put lyrics on the notes that are split? Is
there an easier way than putting in a new lyric section with a whole
bunch of rests?
Thanks,

Hm... Take a look at this for ideas. Something like this is probably the most
logical solution, though it would certainly be a lot _easier_ to do it with
lots of rests instead.
