David, 



If I correctly understand your problem, you need to have the Lyrics of the alto 
voice above the Staff after the eight bar. 

I think the best solution is to use the 'alignAbovecontext' which sould be 
applied to a 'Staff' context. You will find a proposal attached to this email. 



If you would like a more appropriate solution, tell me know. 



Have a nice day, 



Rémy

Dear Lilyponders, 
Suppose I have a ChoirStaff with four voices, 
and stanzas are sung by everybody, but distributed between the voices (less 
cluttered).

However, soprano & tenor have 8 measures rest; ideally those lyrics (14 
syllables) can be set with reference to the alto voice. 
When compiling, the order matters: 
"two" (alto) has been read when "three" (tenor) is compiled, so stanza three 
lyrics appear below tenor rests. 
But "one" cannot reference "two", so no lyrics will appear if

alignAboveContext for alto

2019-12-08 Thread David Olson

Dear Lilyponders, 

Suppose I have a ChoirStaff with four voices, 

and stanzas are sung by everybody, but distributed between the voices (less 
cluttered). 

<< 
\new Voice = "one" { \sopranoMusic } 
\new Lyrics \lyricsto "one" \stanzaOne 
\new Voice = "two" { \altoMusic } 
\new Lyrics \lyricsto "two" \stanzaTwo 
<< 
>> 
\new Voice = "three" { \tenorMusic } 
\new Lyrics \lyricsto "two" \stanzaThree 
\new Voice = "four" { \bassMusic } 
>> 

However, soprano & tenor have 8 measures rest; ideally those lyrics (14 
syllables) can be set with reference to the alto voice. 

When compiling, the order matters: 
"two" (alto) has been read when "three" (tenor) is compiled, so stanza three 
lyrics appear below tenor rests. 

But "one" cannot reference "two", so no lyrics will appear if 
\new Voice = "one" { \sopranoMusic } 
\new Lyrics \lyricsto "two" \stanzaOne 

Warning: cannot find Voice `two' 


Alternatively: alignAboveContext 

(what is the "context"?) 

{ alignAboveContext = "two" } 
{ alignAboveContext = "Voice" } 
{ alignAboveContext = "altoMusic" } 


\new Voice = "two" { \altoMusic } 
\new Lyrics 
\with { alignAboveContext = "two" } {\lyricsto "two" \stanzaFirst } 
\new Lyrics \lyricsto "two" \stanzaTwo 

This just prints the "stanzaFirst" section below alto. 

Assistance will be greatly appreciated,
