Works flawlessly. Thanks ever so much.
Now: on to problem two.
My song has the following form:
(1) a very brief (one-measure) introduction
(2) an "a" section which is repeated note for note (but with totally different
lyrics)
(3) a "b" section (bridge)
(4) a sorta repeat of the "a" section which, however ends quite differently.
My problem is only with (2) above.
I have the "a" section fine, repeat and all for the music (all instruments) and the
chord designations using the \repeat { stuph } notation however I haven't figured out
how to insert the second set of lyrics.
Obviously I'd like 'em to appear immediately below the first lyrics.
I gave one feeble try based on the "Row, row, row your boat" example but that doesn't
use the \score { stuph } and anyway I obviously did it all wrong. All I got was
compile time errors.
Any takers?
TIA,
Maury (who's delighted by LilyPond and can now actually produce legible music!) <grin>
