Very helpful. Thank you.
I’m still finding it a bit confusing though. The following creates the pdf
output I’m looking for. Is it basically correct syntax-wise?
melody = \relative c' {
\clef treble
\key bes \major
\repeat volta 2 {
\time 6/8 e4. fis4 g8 | a4. g4 bes8 |
\time 6/8
\new Voice = "words" {
r4 f4 d | r f f | r2. |% words go to this
}
}
\alternative {
{
r2. |
}
{
r2. |
}
}
% CHORUS
\new Voice = "chorus" {
g4. a | bes g4 a8 | % words go here too, see?
}
}
text = \lyricmode {
<<
{
\set stanza = #"1. "
Words go | to this |
}
\new Lyrics {
\set associatedVoice = "words"
\set stanza = #"2. "
More words | go here |
}
>>
}
chorus = \lyricmode {
Words go | here too, see? |
}
harmonies = \chordmode {
e2.:m7.5- | bes |
bes2. | g:m7 | f:7 |
c:7/e |
c4.:7 d:7 |
g2.:m | g:m |
}
\score {
<<
\new ChordNames {
\set chordChanges = ##t
\harmonies
}
\new Voice = "one" { \melody }
\new Lyrics \lyricsto "words" \text
\new Lyrics \lyricsto "chorus" \chorus
>>
\layout { }
\midi { }
}
