Dear LilyPond users,
I figured out a method of setting four-voice music in a single staff, using
partcombine.
The key issue was to add a separate hidden voice that wouldn't interfere
with any of the visible voices, and use that for the \lyricsto.
Code is shown below:
%%%% Begin pastable code
\version "2.11.64"
sopranoNotes = \relative c' {f4 g a b}
altoNotes = \relative c' {d4 g f g}
tenorNotes = \relative c {f4 g a b}
bassNotes = \relative c {d4 g f g}
<<
\new Staff {
<<
\new Voice = "combined" {
\partcombine \sopranoNotes \altoNotes
}
\new Voice = "hidden" {
\hideNotes
\shiftOnn
\transpose c' c'' { \sopranoNotes }
}
\new Lyrics \lyricsto "hidden" \lyricmode { One Two Three Four }
>>
}
\new Staff {
\clef bass
\partcombine \tenorNotes \bassNotes
}
>>
\layout {
\context {
\Staff
printPartCombineTexts = ##f
}
}
%%% End pastable code
This has given me what I want. I hope somebody else will find it useful.
Carl
