Yeah, it takes a bit of getting used to, I don't understand it fully,
but anything between {} happens sequentially, anything between <<>>
happens simultaneously. It makes sense on paper, but practical
applications are a bit trickier. For these kinds of things, I usually
just define a new voice context in my existing one, i.e.:
verseVocal = \context Voice = "Vocal" \relative c'' {
\repeat volta 50 { … }
\context Voice = "chorusVocal" { … }
\bar "|."
}

Thanks, I'll try that. My stumbling block was how to concatenate
different sections in the Staff context.

Why the extra staff? I would just do:
\context Staff { \new Voice = bassNotesAB \bassNotesAB \new Voice
\new Voice
= bassNotesC \bassNotesC }
\context Lyrics \lyricsto bassNotesAB \bassLyricsAB
\context Lyrics \lyricsto bassNotesC \bassNotesC

That's how I started out. But what's the magic word in the \score
section?
The code below results in Stanza 3 getting printed at the top of the
page, with Stanzas 1 and 2 getting overlaid onto it (I kid you not)
about halfway through.
BTW, I'm using Lilypond 2.10.33.
\score {
\context Score <<
\context Staff <<
\new Voice = "bassNotesAB"
\bassNotesAB
>>
\lyricsto "bassNotesAB" \new Lyrics {
\bassLyricsAB
}
\context Staff <<
\new Voice = "bassNotesC" \bassNotesC
>>
\lyricsto "bassNotesC" \new Lyrics {
\bassLyricsC
}
>>
\layout {}
}

stanzaoneandtwo = { music }

stanzaonandtwolyrics = {lyrics}
stanzathree = {lyrics}
Does that help?

I'm trying to set a single vocal part. It has three stanzas with a
refrain. The
music for the thirds stanza is slightly different from the
music for the
first
two, so I want the layout like this:
|: notes for stanzas 1 & 2 :| notes for stanza 3 ||
|: words for stanzas 1 & 2 :| words for stanza 3 ||
For some reason Lilypond cannot figure out what I want. I get
only the
first two
stanzas or all three stanzas crammed into the last section.
How do I do this? I'm not new to LP, but this is baffling me.
Thanks,
John Kelly
