Not necessarily. There is another mode for lyrics:
VerseOne = \lyricmode {
\markup {\italic "adlib" }1
_1 _ _ _ _2. From4 |
nowhere2 through4 the |
caravan1 |
_2. a-4 |
round4 that camp- fire |
light4 a love- ly |
woman in mo- tion |
_4 with hair as |
...etc.
- Is LilyPond the right program to tackle this, or would something else be
better (some LaTeX package?)
It is for me because I always create the bass line. It's a good way
to create lead sheets because the bass notes help visualize the timing.
I tried just removing the bass line in one of my lead sheets. It sort
of worked but there was no time signature or bar lines. I suspect that
Lilypond isn't tool you are looking for.
