I am setting a few songs with lyrics and have a few questions.
- Often the lyrics of the first verse is printed as "1. Text of first
verse ..." where "1." (obviously) does not correspond to a note. How
do I set the "1."?
- Probably along the same lines: I have a word to be set in the middle of
the lyrics indicating that the verse ends and the refrain starts,
something like "Ref.". Again, this does not correspond to a note and
should be a syllable of duration 0. How do I set this? As an alternative,
is it possible to set the "Ref." above the staff?
- I have two lines of lyrics under the staff. How do I change the line
space between the two?
- I want both lines of lyrics to use the same rhythm as the melody. How
do I do this? I know that I can use \addlyrics for a melody and one
line of lyrics, but how does it work for two?
- If I only have two lines of lyrics for a part of the song, how do I set
this? Do I just use two lines and work with a lot of rests of the
form " " in the second line?
I am using Lilypond 1.2.17.
Thanks for the help
Bernd
