I think this needs some adaptation: - the lyrics "mum" and "dad" don't fit to the voices - should they be inversed!? - Reedmace Star had proposed to use \voiceOne and \voiceTwo (which is quite usual when notating 2 voices in 1 staff): this helps the singers to locate their part (and also eliminates the warnings about clashing notes). But with the stems going down the lyrics are moved downwards, too, and they don't seem to be on one line anymore. (maybe adding some kind of padding could help). I also think there are some LilyPond features that will not work in the normal way and should be discussed: - stanza numbers - vocalName (shortVocalName) should this mentioned? thanks Eluze -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com/Re%3A-Combining-lyrics-lines-tp33525855p33534105.html Sent from the Gnu - Lilypond - Bugs mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ bug-lilypond mailing list [email protected] https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-lilypond
