Hi, I am trying to create a sheet for choir accompaniment, and have arranged chord names above the pianostaff with my own notes. Now I want to add the choir lyrics to the (partly empty) bars to better be able to deal with rests. I tried this, but Lilypond complains on not finding 'upper' or

Hi Maarten, try to create an (invisible) Devnull Staff that also gets the chords as musical content, and name that Devnull Staff (eg inv). Then assign the lyrics to inv instead of upper. Like this: melody = \relative c' { \repeat unfold 20 {c} } text = \lyricmode { ta ta ta ta ta }

Hi Keith, Is there anything you use a lot in your score that could sometimes force staves further apart, depending on how the note-spacing comes out ? My score is frenched, so the estimates could be based on system extents BEFORE the empty ones are removed… Thanks, Kieren.

You can put the syllables you would like to be treated as a single syllable in quotes, e.g. text = \lyricmode{ ta ta ta la la } That will treat the first ta ta ta as a single syllable ... ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org

Tweaking notehead direction in chords

I've been looking for how to tweak the direction of noteheads within chords. I've got a few instances where Lilypond’s default isn't as clear as when I flip the direction of some of the noteheads. I've searched the repository and tried various tweaks using direction, but nothing seems to

Brilliant, Paul. It isn't as easy as I'd hoped, but this works and is really minimally difficult for me to use. I used 1.25 and -1.25 as values and it is certainly close enough that I can't complain. This helps a *lot*. Best regards, Arle On 2012 Dec 11, at 21:05 , Paul Morris wrote: Hi

Hi Arle, Below is a revised version that lets you just enter 1 and -1 to indicate your offsets. It then multiplies that by 1.251178 to get the precise offset amount. You could enter a slightly larger amount (like 1.1) for whole notes and adjust to taste. This basically lets you work in
