Great. I have been ignoring the bar check errors on the lyrics because output
is satisfactory, but I would love to figure out why they are so prevalent in my
code. For example can you show me why the following produces an error?
melody = \relative c' {
\clef treble
\key bes \major
\time 6/8
\new Voice = "words" {
r4 f4 d | r f f | r2. |% words go to this
}
}
text = \lyricmode {
{
Words go | to this | |
}
