In case anybody is interested I have managed to solve the problem I posed a few days
ago with reference to the "repeat-shorter-bracket.ly" example. This produces exactly
what I wanted. A cut down version is:
% Generated by lilypond-book
% Options: [printfilename,texidoc,linewidth]
\paper {
linewidth = 160 \mm
}
\renameinput "Hymnsamp.ly"
\version "2.0.1"
\header{
texidoc="
Hymn sample with guitar chords, intro, chorus & multiple verses
"
}
intro = \notes\relative c'' { g4 a b c }
introchords = \chords { g2 c2 }
introwords = \lyrics { _ _ _ _ }
chorus = \notes\relative c'' { d4 c b a }
choruschords = \chords { d2 g2 }
choruswords = \lyrics { a nice chor -- us }
verse = \notes\relative c'' { g4 b a g }
versechords = \chords { g2 d2 }
vonewords = \lyrics { the verse one words }
vtwowords = \lyrics { words for verse two }
vthreewords = \lyrics { some more third words }
\score {
<<
\context ChordNames { \introchords \choruschords \versechords }
\addlyrics
\context Staff = one { \intro \chorus \verse }
\context Lyrics \lyrics { \introwords \choruswords
\repeat fold 3 { }
\alternative {

{ \vthreewords }
}
}

\paper{ raggedright = ##t }
}
{Original question}
I have a hymn that I wish to reproduce with all verses under the melody and guitar
chords above. The problem is that the hymn starts with an introduction, so no lyrics
there, only guitar chords. Then there is the chorus which has one lyric line, melody
and guitar chords, Finaly the four verses themselves.
Can anybody tell me how to construct the \score to achieve the layout described above.
that is, introduction (no lyrics), chorus (one lyric line), and then verses (4 lyric
lines).
Thanks
Keith Dunsire
