Hello list,
I have a lot of small music pieces with several stanzas which I store
like this
textA = \lyricmode {
\set stanza = "1. "
this is the first stan -- za.
}
textB = \lyricmode {
\set stanza = "2. "
and this one is the se -- cond.
}
textC = ...
Why? If you want them processed automatically, why do you put them into
dissociated macros and expect Lilypond to go hunting for them?
How would you store several stanzas? It seemed very straightforward to use
one variable (or macro) for one stanza.
It is reasonably easy to generate symbol names, check whether there is
anything bound to them, and collect them into some music, but it is also
arbitrary and error-prone.
Is there a particular reason you want your stanzas to be stored in a
manner not useful for the processing you plan to do with them?
Well, this was the easiest way that came into my mind, but it may be
complete nonsens
to do so - any more powerful ideas are highly appreciated.
Why not just one
\addlyrics { ... }
after the other? That's how you would put them into your document,
wouldn't it?
Well, yes and no. I want to have the ability to
a) use every stanza with \addlyrics
b) use only the first stanza with \addlyrics and print additional
stanzas as a text markup below the score.
So ideally, I have one template for each output format, and squeeze
my pile of songs through the appropriate template.
Regards,
Marc
