Aloha.
I just discovered LP and am very excited about it after struggling with
Sibelius.
I have a multi-verse guitar lead sheet working but cannot figure out how
to add a chorus. I’m struggling to find an example with a chorus and
wonder if anyone can point me in the right direction, pls?
The structure I have is shown below but it results in the chorus being
added as another stanza.
J.
========================== Example below
============================================
\version "2.18.2" % necessary for upgrading to future LilyPond versions.
%\predefinedDiagramTable.
\include "predefined-guitar-fretboards.ly"
chorusI = \lyricmode {
\set stanza = #"Chorus 1."
}
verseI = \lyricmode {
\set stanza = #"Verse 1."
}
verseII = \lyricmode {
\set stanza = #"Verse 2."
}
verseIII = \lyricmode {
\set stanza = #"Verse 3."
}
theChords = \chordmode {
% insert chords for chordnames and fretboards here
}
staffMelody = \relative c''' {
\tempo "Andante" 4 = 120
\key A \minor
\clef treble
% Type notes for melody here
\bar "|."
}
\score {
<<
\context ChordNames { \theChords }
\context FretBoards { \theChords }
\chords{
}
\new Staff {
\context Voice = "voiceMelody" { \staffMelody }
}
\new Lyrics = "lyricsI" {
\lyricsto "voiceMelody" \verseI
}
\new Lyrics = "lyricsII" {
\lyricsto "voiceMelody" \verseII
}
\new Lyrics = "lyricsIII" {
\lyricsto "voiceMelody" \verseIII
}
\new Lyrics = "chorusI" {
\lyricsto "voiceMelody" \chorusI
}
>>
\layout { }
\midi { }
}
