Hi Elaine,
The first is, how is the usage of \time different in lyrics than anywhere
else?
Frankly, I was not aware that using \time inside lyrics was a thing.
What is the reason to use \time inside lyrics?
It is a suggested practice, is it the only way of doing certain things?
I'm not claiming it's a _common_ thing, but it's not hard to think of
situations in which I would definitely consider it useful:
\version "2.22"
\layout {
\context {
\Lyrics
\consists Time_signature_engraver
\consists Bar_engraver
\override BarLine.bar-extent = #'(-2 . 2)
\override BarLine.extra-spacing-width = #'(-1 . 1)
\override LyricText.Y-offset = -0.5
}
}
\new Lyrics \lyricmode {
\time #'(3 3 3 2) 11/8
Sun4. sun sun here8 it
\time 4/4
comes1
\time #'(2 2 3) 7/8
\skip 2 \skip 4.
\time #'(3 3 3 2) 11/8
Sun4. sun sun here8 it
\time 4/4
comes1
}
