Possible bug, attempting to use non-latin characters in verse
Hi LilyPonders, I have a possible bug I’m trying to work around/figure out. I
have a number of Georgian songs where I’ve set a latin transliteration as
“verse 1” and the Georgian alphabet for “verse 2”.
With Lilypond 2.18.2 (or 2.19.20) on OS X 10.10.3, compiling now fails with the
error “warning: `(fondu -force /System/Library/Fonts/Helvetica.dfont)' failed
(5)). This used to work in Lilypond 2.16 just fine. Overriding the entire
document to use Helvetica Neue also fails. Overriding everything to use Arial
Unicode MS works, but 1) yuck, and 2) I shouldn’t need to do any of that. If I
do nasty hacks like moving Helvetica out of place, it will compile using some
other random font that contains Georgian characters, but I want to have control
over what’s being chosen (or not chosen, in this case).
Anyone have experience setting non-latin texts, explicitly choosing the
non-latin font to use, and whether you’re hitting this issue?
Here’s my condensed (failing) example:
\version 2.18.2
firstVoice = \lyricmode {
I -- av -- na -- na, }
pirveliEkhma = \lyricmode {
ი -- ავ -- ნა -- ნა, }
melody = \relative c'' {
\time 5/4 c4 d e e8( d4.)}
\score {
\new ChoirStaff
\new Voice = pirveli
{ \melody }
\new Lyrics
\lyricsto melody
{ \firstVoice }
\new Lyrics
\lyricsto melody
{ \pirveliEkhma }
}___

Compiling felt as fast or faster than compiling locally, in some cases! Your friend is pretty, but while I enjoy looking at pretty women, not all users of your site will feel the same way. I submit that an example of Lilypond’s beautiful engraving in her place would not only be more widely appreciated, it would also be much more relevant :-) Best of luck—it looks like your site has some great potential! - Colin Kinlund___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
Re: Volta repeat with different lyrics places all words on lower staff
Thank you so much for the responses! Trevor’s solution was successful (using
alignBelowContext).
I feel like I scoured the manuals for this, and saw nothing of using it for
this purpose — A.4.3 SATB with aligned contexts doesn’t really demonstrate why
you’d want to use that construct over the example in A.4.1.
I’ll gladly write an multi-voice example to add to the documentation, if it
doesn’t actually exist.
Thanks again!

Hi Colin
Sorry to top-post.
The quick solution is to name the first Lyrics context something like
VerseOne like this:
\new Lyrics = VerseOne \lyricsto melody
and specify that the second Lyrics context is positioned immediately beneath
it with
\new Lyrics \with { alignBelowContext = VerseOne }
leaving all the other lines unchanged.

Volta repeat with different lyrics places all words on lower staff
Hi everyone, I’m using ver 2.15.38 (since the 2.16 release isn’t out), and
being the first time I’ve used an unstable build I don’t know if this is a bug,
since there are no examples on the website that directly correspond.
I’m setting a piece for three voices with sections that repeat for the purpose
of the next verse. So what I want to have happen is (view with a monospace
font):
Top voice - - - - - - - |: - - - - - - - - - :|
Lyrics, blah blah blahFirst verse lyrics
Second verse lyrics
Middle voice - - - - - |: - - - - - - - - - :|
Lyrics, blah blah blahFirst verse lyrics
Second verse lyrics
Bottom voice - - - - - |: - - - - - - - - - :|
Lyrics, blah blah blahFirst verse lyrics
Second verse lyrics
Diligently following the instructions at
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.14/Documentation/notation/techniques-specific-to-lyrics#lyrics-and-repeats
, there is no trouble with a single-staff system as in the example, but adding
another voice causes all the text in the second verse to drop to the
bottom-most staff, like this:
Top voice - - - - - - - |: - - - - - - - - - :|
Lyrics, blah blah blahFirst verse lyrics
Middle voice - - - - - |: - - - - - - - - - :|
Lyrics, blah blah blahFirst verse lyrics
Bottom voice - - - - - |: - - - - - - - - - :|
Lyrics, blah blah blahFirst verse lyrics
Second verse lyrics
Second verse lyrics
Second verse lyrics
I have worked on this problem for days now, and I have no idea if I’m doing
something wrong or if this is a real bug. I could not find any examples that
dealt with volta repeats of different text with more than a single voice.
Please, please help!
Below is a small example with actual code (25 lines due to formatting).
Un-comment the commented lines to see the issue.
Thanks in advance for any assistance!
