I have a problem in changing the lyric font over more than just the upper voice.
If I put the font change command in my VoiceDefault section it changes the font of the upper voice only. And if I put the font change command within the lower voice, only, it doesn't change the lower voice lyric, but actually changes the upper voice. I am using Lily 1.6.8 with Cygwin. A truncated and voice reduced version of my LY file is as follows: \version "1.6.8" \include "paper20.ly" \include "english.ly" \header { composer = "\\textit {Claudio Monteverdi}" crossRefNumber = "1" footnotes = "" tagline = "Lily 1.6.8" title = "\\Huge \\textit {Bevea Fillide mia}" subtitle = "(My Phyllis drank)" head = "\\footnotesize \\textit {Monteverdi: Bevea Fillide mia}" } global = \notes { \key c \major \time 3/1 \repeat unfold 6 {\skip 1*3} \time 4/2 \tempo 2=50 \repeat unfold 3 {\skip 2*4} \bar "|" } VoiceDefault = \notes { % \property Score.defaultBarType="empty" \property Score.skipBars = ##t \property Staff.automaticMelismata = ##t \property Staff.autoBeaming = ##f \property Score.BarNumber \override #'padding = #2 \property Staff.minimumVerticalExtent = #'(-3 . 3) % \property LyricsVoice.LyricText \override#'font-name = #"cmbx12" } wordsSopAVA = \lyrics { Be- vea Fil- li- de mi- a, be- vea Fil- li- de mi- - - - - - - a, E, nel ber dol- ce- men- te Ba- ci_a'l dol- ce li- } voiceSopA = \notes \relative c' { r1 f e d f a b\breve c1 f, e a~ a2 g f1 f2 g a b cs d1 cs2 d1 r2 a~ a4 a a2 g4 a bf2 a g a4 g4. g8 f4 } wordsSopBVA = \lyrics { Be- vea Fil- li- de mi- a, be- vea Fil- li- de mi- a, } voiceSopB = \notes \relative c'' { \property LyricsVoice.LyricText \override#'font-name = #"cmbx12" d1 a\breve a1. g2 f1 g\breve a1 r1 r1 f e a1. g2 f1 a\breve fs1 r1 r1 r1 r1 r1 } SopranoA = \notes < \addlyrics \context Staff=SopA { \property Staff.instrument = "S 1 " \property Staff.midiInstrument = "acoustic grand" \VoiceDefault \notes \context Voice=SopA < \global \voiceSopA >} \context Lyrics=SopA \wordsSopAVA > SopranoB = \notes < \addlyrics \context Staff=SopB { \property Staff.instrument = "S 2 " \property Staff.midiInstrument = "acoustic grand" \VoiceDefault \notes \context Voice=SopB < \global \voiceSopB >} \context Lyrics=SopB \wordsSopBVA > \score { \context ChoirStaff = All < \context InnerChoirStaff = Sops < \SopranoA \SopranoB > > \paper { textheight = 22.0\cm interscoreline = 12.0\mm interscorelinefill = 1 } \midi { \tempo 2=100 } } What am I doing wrong, can anyone help please. Is my problem context related?
