Re: \addlyrics in ossia staff
Thanks David, Lukas-Fabian got there first! You'd think so, but I staked my claim years ago: commit e6895cdbcf30f3683a8c1b1c50dbb1b154ca6bdb Author: David Kastrup Date: Mon Aug 3 09:23:40 2015 +0200 :-) I think it's quite hard to produce an example of easy and convenient modern-day LilyPond code which you haven't been responsible for in some way or another. That reminds me of the anecdote from Salzburg: https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-user/2020-05/msg00269.html - unfortunately, I wasn't around at that moment. Lukas

You'd think so, but I staked my claim years ago:
commit e6895cdbcf30f3683a8c1b1c50dbb1b154ca6bdb
Author: David Kastrup
Date: Mon Aug 3 09:23:40 2015 +0200
Issue 4537/1: Let \addlyrics accept an optional context mod
Since \addlyrics always creates a new Lyrics context, there seems to be
little point in not allowing it to have a \with clause.
This change allows the use of the syntax
\new Voice {...} \addlyrics \with ... {...}
in order to achieve the effect of what previously required
<< \new Voice = "name" {...}
\new Lyrics \with ... \lyricsto "name" {...}
>>
Incidentally, the commit message also mentions how to do this in a more
roundabout way.

Hello Lukas-Fabian,
Thanks. I knew I'd missed something.
With regard to the quotes - I was following the latest documentation.
Best regards,

That's a matter of naming the ossia staff and using alignBelowContext
for the lyrics.
But I modified your snippet a bit: I removed a number of superfluous
brace pairs { }, and it's not necessary anymore to put quotes "" around
context names.
\version "2.22.1"
\language "english"
\new Staff = tutti-staff
<<
\new Voice = tutti-voice
\relative {
c'4 d e f |
<<
{
g f e d |
c d e f |
}
\new Staff = ossiastaff \with {
\remove "Time_signature_engraver"
firstClef = ##f
alignAboveContext = tutti-staff
} \relative {
b'4 a g f |
e f g a |
}
\addlyrics \with { alignBelowContext = ossiastaff } {
So -- lo so -- lo so -- lo so -- lo
}
>>
g f e d |
}
\new Lyrics \lyricsto tutti-voice {
Tut -- ti tut -- ti tut -- ti tut -- ti
Tut -- ti tut -- ti tut -- ti tut -- ti
}
>>
Actually, I don't think removing the Time_signature_engraver is really
correct for an ossia staff, because if a time signature change were to
happen during an ossia, it should be printed in the ossia staff. But I
admit that it's quite hard to design ossia staves in a "universally
correct" way, and it's probably best to use shortcuts like you did in
music not containig complications like these.
