Hi,
Trying to make my first lilypond song and put let it be on score but I
can't make the timing of the lyrics fit with the melody... :
\version "2.11.53"
melody = \relative c' {
\clef treble
\key c \major
\time 4/4
\partial 4
g8 a c4 c d a c c d e f f f e e d d2 e4 e f e e
d2 e4 d4 c2
}
harmony = \chordmode { r8 r c2 g
a:min f4:maj7 f:6
c2 g f c
}
text = \lyrics {When I find my-self in times of trou-ble,
Mother Mary comes to me,
Speaking words of wishdom
let it be.
}
\score {
<<
\new ChordNames {
\harmony
}
\new Staff {\melody } \new Lyrics { \text }
>>
\layout { }
\midi { }
}
Try to have a look at the documentation concerning lyrics and vocal music:
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.10/Documentation/user/lilypond/Vocal-music
The Lyrics should be associated with a "Voice":
\new Staff {
\new Voice = "melodyVoice" {\melody}
}
\new Lyrics \lyricsto "melodyVoice" \text
Furthermore you should indicate with a "--" where the words in the
lyrics should be broken, when they span several notes:
When I find my -- self in ...
Hope this helps,
Morten
