hehehe, very clever -- however far-fetched :-) I wish we could have a "common notation" section that would deal with the voice as an instrument (for instance, the parlato notehead example is quite good; we could also add the http://lsr.dsi.unimi.it/LSR/Item?id=370 snippet, etc.) This "common notation" section would also mention the use of lyrics, and refer to lyric-specialized further sections: 2.1.1 Common notation for vocal music References for vocal music (noteheads, characters' names etc) References for lyrics (points to NR 2.1.2, 2.1.3, LM 2.4 etc) Vocal-specific staff notation (ancient clefs, incipits, whatever) 2.1.2 Entering lyrics (all sections thereof) 2.1.3 Aligning lyrics to a melody (all sections thereof) 2.1.4 Stanzas (all sections thereof) 2.1.5 Specific styles of vocal music Opera Songs Chants Ancient (gregorian, whatever; may point back to 2.1.1 Vocal-specific staff notation) (etc) I am confident that we will eventually find a good solution :-) Cheers, Valentin _______________________________________________ lilypond-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-devel
