After fiddling with this for hours i cannot figure out why the added lyrics e and i drop below the bass as opposed to the voices they ought to be associated with which is here "melody" and "mel" that live on the soprano staff. What am I missing?
\version "2.18.2" sopranoVoice = { a2 << \context Voice = melody \relative { c' } \new Lyrics { \set associatedVoice = #"melody" \lyricmode { e } }<< \new Voice = "mel" \relative { \stemDown a2 } \new Lyrics \lyricsto "mel" {\set associatedVoice = #"mel" i } >> >> } verseSopranoVoice = \lyricmode { a } bassVoice = \relative c { f e } versebassVoice = \lyricmode { o u } sopranoVoicePart = \new Staff \with { instrumentName = "Soprano" } { \sopranoVoice } \addlyrics { \verseSopranoVoice } bassVoicePart = \new Staff \with { instrumentName = "Bass" } { \clef "bass"\bassVoice } \addlyrics { \versebassVoice } \score { << \sopranoVoicePart \bassVoicePart >> \layout { } } regards, Shane _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
