What exactly is the difference between \lyricsto and \set
associatedVoice?
I think \lyricsto is a shorthand for \lyricmode { \set
assosiatedVoice ... }
so:
text = \lyricsto "alto" {
bla bla bla
}
is equivalent to:
text = \lyricmode {
\set associatedVoice = "alto"
bla bla bla
}
Then I have to ask, what is the difference between
Text = \context Lyrics {
\lyricsto "NumberOne" { Cee }
\lyricsto "NumberTwo" { Ray }
}
TextTwo = \context Lyrics \lyricmode {
\set associatedVoice = #"NumberOne" { Cee4 }
\set associatedVoice = #"NumberTwo" { Ray4 }
}
I was under the impression that {} is a single musical expression,
music expressions may be nested, and that music expressions enclosed
in {} are sequential. So then, why does the example using \set
associatedVoice work and the one using \lyricsto not? In fact, if
\lyrics "voice context" {}
is equivalent to
\lyricmode { \set associatedVoice =#"voice context" }
wouldn't my example be expanded as
Text = \context Lyrics {
\lyricmode {
\set associatedVoice =#"NumberOne { Cee4 }
}
\lyricmode {
\set associatedVoice = #"NumberTwo" {Ray4}
}
}
(Which also compiles as expected.)
Also, since \set associatedVoice needs to have durations explicitly
stated, they can't possibly be the same.
…
Most times I use \lyricsto and I put the lyricsto in the \score
section, like:
Except, when it is necessary to switch voices in the lyrics, that's
not really possible. Unless somebody knows something I don't.
