Dear List,
I have a song with two verses. The lyrics to the second stanza
occasionally have an extra syllable, such that there is a rest on that beat
in the first verse but a note in the second verse. I'm trying to address
this using the code found in notation manual (v. 2.18.2) in Section 2.1.3
"Stanzas", subsection "Switching to an alternative melody". See
http://www.lilypond.org/doc/v2.18/Documentation/notation/stanzas#stanzas-with-different-rhythms.
But I cannot get the lyrics to recognize and line up with the added beat in
the second stanza. An example, as minimal as I was able to get it, follows
below. Can anyone help? Also, is there a simpler approach that works for
this, so I don't have to define a new alternative voice every time this
situation occurs?
Thanks,
Pete
\version "2.18.2"
melody_verse = \relative c' {
c4
<<
\new Voice = "alternative" {
\voiceTwo
f4
}
{ \voiceOne
d'4\rest
\oneVoice
}
>>
g,4 a |
}
\score {
<<
\new Staff {
\new Voice = "main" {
\repeat volta 2 { \melody_verse }
}
}
\new Lyrics \lyricsto "main" {
<<
{ One three four. }
\new Lyrics {
\set associatedVoice = "alternative"
Uno
\set associatedVoice = "main"
dos tres quatro.
}
>>
}
>>
}
% End of example.
