First you should name the notes after a variable = \context Voice = "voicename" \relative c' { notes here } After that.. the \lyricsto use "voicename" as a position mapper :) > The lyrics stop where the polyphony starts.

Would it make a lot of difference to use the chord notation <d bf>4 <bf f>2 <d bf>4 <bf f> <c f> with whatever ', octaviation required, (note that the octaviation considers only the first note of each chord), instead of: << { d4 bf c2 d4 bf c } \\ { bf4 f f2 bf4 f f } >> > Otherwise, what is the best way to name each subvoice?

Try giving it a \context Voice = "name" first.. then send your comments and results .. so that it helps others looking for similar solutions. > The full .ly file is here: > http://triplehelix.org/~joshk/servants-chorus.ly > > Thanks, You're welcome :) Alexandre Bourget _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
