Re: Coda and Voice Combining
I'm including my file as an attachment. Again, this is an example of simple
concepts not working out so simply with a real life, (read: complex)
example.
We're trying to set this file up to have an intro line that has no lyrics,
followed by music with lyrics. I've tried to set up my file following
Mats's simple example below. But, if you run this through lilypond, you'll
quickly see that something is not working right.
In order to see the music as it should be, replace the Intro notes at the
beginning of the Treble notes, and remove the Intro line from the score.
This makes the music look right, but of course the lyrics now start at the
beginning, instead of after the Intro.
Please have some consideration with this file -- our church is using this
music, but I do not know the original author, nor the publishing status of
this music. It is presented here in order to correct this specific issue.

As an easier alternative -- if its possible to delay lyrics, my file
would
easier to program. That is, I want the lyrics to follow one certain set
of
notes, but to totally ignore those notes for the first 20 bars or so (no
lyrics with the intro music).
If you specify the rhythm of each syllable explicitly in the lyrics,
it's just to insert a \skip 1*20 command in the lyrics.
I'm not sure how to do it with \addlyrics, but in principle it
should be possible to do something like
\context Staff { \intro \addlyrics \verse \text}
but I'd have to do some experimentation to find out exactly how
to do it.
The following simple example seems to work:
intro=\notes\relative c'{c4 d e f}
song=\notes\relative c''{g a g f | e f e d | c1}
text=\lyrics{This is not a song worth pub -- lish -- ing }
\score {
\context Staff=melody {\intro
\addlyrics \song \context Lyrics = text \text}
}
By the way, if you have an empty \paper{} section, you
could just as well remove it completely.

Please read in the manual about the difference between ... and
{...}.
If you replace \context Staff = Vocal ... with
\context Staff = Vocal { ... }, Lilypond will typeset the
\Treble and \text after the \Intro, not simultaneously, as you
asked for.
You problaby want the lyrics between the staves, not below the
bass. To get that, add the line
\context Lyrics = verse {\skip 1*100}
before \context Staff = BassStaff {.
It's not critical how long a skip you make, just it's long
enough to keep the Staff alive until the real lyrics begins
but not longer than the total piece.
Finally, you can add a ChoirStaff context to get brackets
for each pair of staves. After these changes (and some fine
tuning the position of the bar numbers), I got the following
\score declaration:
\score {
\context ChoirStaff
\context Staff = Vocal {
\notes {
\key g \major
\time 4/4
\clef treble
\partial 2
\property
Staff.automaticMelismata = ##t
}
\Intro
\addlyrics
\Treble
\context Lyrics = verse \text
}
\context Lyrics = verse {\skip 1*100}
\context Staff = BassStaff {
\clef bass
\Bass
}
\paper {
indent = 0.0\mm
\translator{
\ScoreContext
BarNumber \override
#'padding = #3
}
}
\midi { \tempo 4 = 60 }
}

Re: Coda and Voice Combining
Two issues popped up in my latest typesetting attempt (my second song ever). Is there any way in lilypond to perform a D.S al Coda? (A working example is appreciated) Unless you want the D.S reflected in the MIDI output, there's no problem to typeset it. Just insert text scripts (to get a text or mark centered over a note) or rehearsal marks (to get it centered on a bar line). See the example file input/test/textscript.ly to find out how to mix text with musical signs like coda. Having trouble automatically combining two voices on the same staff. Looking for additional working examples (the one in the lilypond manual was far too simplistic for useful modeling). What aspects do you have troubles with? /Mats ___ Lilypond-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
