Hi. I'm hoping someone can help me figure out how to notate this.
I am creating a lead sheet that has vocal line with lyrics. Some sections have just the melody, and other sections have harmonies under the melody. In general, I have been having success using this pattern for going into and out of polyphony, while keeping the lyrics associated with the melody: melody = \relative c'' { c1 << { \voiceOne d } { b1 } >> | \oneVoice e1 | } However, there is one phrase where I can't figure out how to make it work, which is when the second voice contains ties. What I'm after is like the second score--except there should be ties between the chords in the second voice in bars 2-3. Alternately, like the music in example 6, except with lyrics in the 2nd & 3rd bars. \version "2.19.80" words = \lyricmode { One, two and three four } melody = \relative c'' { \time 3/4 g2.^"1. Just melody - missing harmony" | g8 a f2 ~ | 2. | e2. \bar "|." } melodyHarmonizedNoTies = \relative c'' { \time 3/4 g2.^"2. Harmonized, no ties: missing ties in voice 2" << \relative c'' { \voiceOne g8 a f2 ~ | 2. } \relative c' { <d b>2. | 2. } >> | \oneVoice e2. \bar "|." } melodyHarmonizedWithTies = \relative c'' { \time 3/4 g2.^"3. Harmonized with ties: lyrics do not follow voice 1, and ties are missing in voice 2" << \relative c'' { \voiceOne g8 a f2 ~ | 2. } \relative c' { <d b>2. ~ | 2. } >> | \oneVoice e2. \bar "|." } melodyHarmonizedLV = \relative c'' { \time 3/4 g2.^"4. Harmonized, LV in voice 2: Extra LV in voice 1" << \relative c'' { \voiceOne g8 a f2 ~ | 2. } \relative c' { <d b>2. \laissezVibrer | 2. } >> | \oneVoice e2. \bar "|." } melodyHarmonizedSlashNoTies = \relative c'' { \time 3/4 g2.^"5. Slash, no ties: missing lyrics in voice 1 and missing ties in voice 2" << \relative c'' { \voiceOne g8 a f2 ~ | 2. } \\ \relative c' { <d b>2. | 2. } >> | \oneVoice e2. \bar "|." } melodyHarmonizedSlashWithTies = \relative c'' { \time 3/4 g2.^"6. Slash with ties: lyrics do not follow voice 1" << \relative c'' { \voiceOne g8 a f2 ~ | 2. } \\ \relative c' { <d b>2. ~ | 2. } >> | \oneVoice e2. \bar "|." } melodyHarmonizedSlashLV = \relative c'' { \time 3/4 g2.^"7. Slash, LV in voice 2: lyrics do not follow voice 1" << \relative c'' { \voiceOne g8 a f2 ~ | 2. } \\ \relative c' { <d b>2. \laissezVibrer | 2. } >> | \oneVoice e2. \bar "|." } \book { \header { title = "MWE: lyrics in voice 1 with tied notes in voice 2" } \score { << \new Staff = "upper" { \new Voice = "lead" { \melody } } \new Lyrics \with { alignAboveContext = "staff" } { \lyricsto "lead" { \words } } >> \layout { } } \score { << \new Staff = "upper" { \new Voice = "lead" { \melodyHarmonizedNoTies } } \new Lyrics \with { alignAboveContext = "staff" } { \lyricsto "lead" { \words } } >> \layout { } } \score { << \new Staff = "upper" { \new Voice = "lead" { \melodyHarmonizedWithTies } } \new Lyrics \with { alignAboveContext = "staff" } { \lyricsto "lead" { \words } } >> \layout { } } \score { << \new Staff = "upper" { \new Voice = "lead" { \melodyHarmonizedLV } } \new Lyrics \with { alignAboveContext = "staff" } { \lyricsto "lead" { \words } } >> \layout { } } \score { << \new Staff = "upper" { \new Voice = "lead" { \melodyHarmonizedSlashNoTies } } \new Lyrics \with { alignAboveContext = "staff" } { \lyricsto "lead" { \words } } >> \layout { } } \score { << \new Staff = "upper" { \new Voice = "lead" { \melodyHarmonizedSlashWithTies } } \new Lyrics \with { alignAboveContext = "staff" } { \lyricsto "lead" { \words } } >> \layout { } } \score { << \new Staff = "upper" { \new Voice = "lead" { \melodyHarmonizedSlashLV } } \new Lyrics \with { alignAboveContext = "staff" } { \lyricsto "lead" { \words } } >> \layout { } } } Please let me know if you have suggestions.
