Using addlyrics with a variable

Hello I am exploring lilypond for the first time. In evaluating its suitability for my purposes, I am making a little test piece to explore layouts. I am having trouble with lyric setting. I would like to use a pre-defined variable with the \addlyrics command (I can't find the answer in

Re: Using addlyrics with a variable

I already knew that \addlyrics had very limited applicability, but it seems that it's even more limited to only handle simple examples than you might expect. Still, the following version of your first attempt does work: \version 2.6.3 sopLyric = \lyricmode { One Two Three } \context Voice

page break hack

\version 2.7.11Having taken a look at Nicholas Sceaux's terrific opera scores, I found his pageBreakHack function. This function inserts an empty score with \header {breakbefore = ##t} into the music, forcing a pagebreak at that point. It looks like this: pageBreakHack = #(def-music-function

Re: Using addlyrics with a variable

ah indeed it doesn't ! thanks Neil The problem is that you have declared a Staff context within a Voice context, which doesn't make sense. Just do \score{ \context Voice = sop { \sopNotes } \lyricsto sop \new Lyrics \sopLyric } or \score{ \new Staff { \context Voice = sop {

Repeats and rehearsal mark in drummode music

I just started using LilyPond to notate drumset music. It's workingvery well for me so far. But I can't figure out how to do two things: 1. Put a rehearsal mark at the beginning of the first bar ("[A]"), and2. Put the bars between repeat symbols ("|:" and ":|") Here some representative

Completing the Lilypond puzzle

Lilypond can do everything and lilypond is for everybody. Yet, I don't seem to be part of this equation somehow. I am getting very frustrated to get Lilypond to do the simplest thing, to create a PDF file with 4 pages of empty piano sheet music that I can use to jot notes on. That shouldn't be

Tie between voices

Hello, I hope you can help me. I'm trying to typeset a piano score - Gershwin actually :). I've come across a bar where the first chord slurs into the next, which LilyPond handles fine. This second chord then ties to another identical chord. However, the top note of this chord breaks off into a

FiguredBass - Thank You.

Hello All, I'd like to thank Han-Wen for his work in implementing the new figured bass scheme in Lilypond. There was a lot of hard work put into this which has resulted in an easy way in which figuredbass numbers and extender lines can be added and formatted. I would encourage anyone who uses

2.6.3 on debian

I just installed 2.6.3 from source on Debian Sarge/Sid. I didn't have any problems, though I did not try to make the documentation. I am interested in making a debian package, but am a little intimidated by that whole process. Hints are needed and encouragement is welcome :) Josiah

The crashes went away (tried with 2.6) when I changed \layout { \context { \RemoveEmptyStaffContext } } to \layout { %% \context { \RemoveEmptyStaffContext } } In other words, I removed the RemoveEmptyStaffContext. Tried to remove the \context part, but that resulted in an error At

word completion help

Hi all, I am having problems getting vim word completion to lilypond files. I hit ctrl+N and get very few choices to complete. I have checked the file lilypond-words.vim and it is full of choices. Just to check what is going on I renamed lilypond-words and lilypond-words.vim to other names.
