Thanks Kieren. That's what I tried in the 1st place but the actual musical
passage is not as simple as my example, so using \skip is very unwieldy.
It's a whole verse.
I did figure it out. I had to create a new voice context for the part that
is to be whistled. I can then just set the lyrics to the "Women" voice
context and the lyrics automatically skip the Whistle section.
Here's a snippet of the actual code. It's not complete so it won't compile.
I'm beginning to understand contexts, finally!!!
womenMusic = {
%% There's other music and code here.
g8 a bf a | a4 a8 bf | c4 c | bf bf8 r | \break
g8 a bf a | a4 a8 bf | c4 c | g4 r | \bar "||" \break
%% This creates the new voice context that will be skipped by setting
%% the women's lyrics to the "Women" voice context.
\new Voice = "Whistle" {
g8\mark "All whistle" a bf g | a4 a8 bf | c4 c | bf bf8 r8 | \break
g8 a bf g | a4 a8 bf | c4 d | g, r | \bar "||" \break
}
%% This reverts back to the original context.
\oneVoice
%% And the rest of the piece follows.
\key g \major
g8^"Women" a b g | a4 a8 b | c4 c | b bf8 r8 | \break
%% The rest of the music is here.
}
}
}
Now my score block is:
\score {
\new ChoirStaff
<<
\womenMusic
\new Lyrics
\lyricsto "Women" {
\set stanza = #"1."
\womenLyricOneTwo % The same lyrics are used for V 1 & 2.
\set stanza = #"2."
\womenLyricOneTwo
}
\menMusic
\new Lyrics \lyricsto "Men" {
\set stanza = #"2."
\menLyricTwo
}
>>
}
Thanks,
Chris
