Hi you LilyPond folks..
I'm trying to write lyrics for some Christmas songs.. but I'm sure there is a
smarter way to do it than the way I did.
I have four music blocks (\soprano, \alto, \tenor and \basse) and I have four
lyric blocks (\texteUn, \texteDeux, \texteTrois and \texteQuatre) ..
Now the four text blocks are there just because I have 4 verses and I want
them in the middle of the two staves. Also.. I want them all to be attached
to the soprano, because the soprano determines the melody of the song.
NOw look at that ugly snippet in \score:
\context ChoirStaff \notes <<
\context Staff = staffUp {
<<
\addlyrics
\addlyrics
\addlyrics
\addlyrics
\soprano
\context Lyrics = lyricQuatre \texteQuatre
\context Lyrics = lyricTrois \texteTrois
\context Lyrics = lyricDeux \texteDeux
\context Lyrics = lyricUn \texteUn
\\
\alto >>
}
\context Lyrics = lyricUn { }
\context Lyrics = lyricDeux { }
\context Lyrics = lyricTrois { }
\context Lyrics = lyricQuatre { }
\context Staff = staffDown { << \tenor \\ \basse >> }
>>
That's the only way I could align all the four text blocks with the soprano
while putting the lyrics in the middle of the two staves. There *must* be an
alternative, isn't there ?! :)
thanks for your help
Alexandre Bourget
