I am using PMX and musixlyr. I've used the combo to typeset simple
songs, but now I want to typeset a song with three verses with different
lyrics, all of which go into the same lyrics for the chorus, and then
extra lyrics after the last chorus for the coda. I have two staffs.
The beginmel and endmel commands work when I only have one staff, but
not when I have two. The lyrics are just attached to one staff. I've
been using the setup shown in auxl-exa.pmx, but with two staffs, the
\EM\ and \BM\ directives are completely ignored.
So basically, what I want lyrics-wise looks something like this:
This is verse 1 blah blah blah
This is verse 2 blah blah blah Here's the same chorus for all three
This is verse 3 blah blah blah
So, in the --- section at the top, I have
\assignlyrics1{verse1,verse2,verse3}
Later I want to change it to
\assignlyrics1{chorus}
or
\assignlyrics{verse1} % verse 1 only!
if I stick the new line
\\assignlyrics1{chorus}\
at the appropriate bar in the middle of the PMX code, it just ignores
the previous assignment, ignoring
verse1,2,3 and just tried to start the chorus lyrics from the start.
Help!
