Hi all,
I've recently experimented with the organisation of my Lilypond file, and I've
encountered something strange while doing that. Consider the following code
extract:
\score{
\new Voice = "melodyVoice" \melodyNotes
\new Lyrics \lyricsto melodyVoice \lyrics
% I had to remove the double forward and backward 'arrows' to post the message
}
Here everything works, I can see my melody with lyrics attached to it.
At that point I tried to move the lyrics association from the score construct
to a Staff context with the following code:
melodyStaff = \new Staff {
\new Voice = "melodyVoice" \melodyNotes
\new Lyrics \lyricsto "melodyVoice" \lyrics % <- here comes the error
}
\score{ % again, arrows removed to post
\melodyStaff
}
Lilypond complains about not finding "melodyVoice" in the indicated line.
Why doesn't Lilypond find a voice when it was declared in a Staff context
rather than in a Score context? Where can I find information about such
behaviour? (I've worked through the Lilypond manual and NR for hours now and
haven't found anything - it's just that huge! ;)
Thanks for your help!
