Near the very end of a movement, I want to set lyrics to choral (soprano?) cues for two measures. The horn part is shown on two staves (1st horn, 2nd horn) and I want the cues in the top staff, with the lyrics between the staves. Is there a way to "drop this in"? Or does it (a lyrics context?) have to be set up at the beginning of the movement?
Take a look at the example called staff-halfway.ly in the "Regression Test" document to see how to create something in the middle of a score. However, if you use this idea for the lyrics, they will appear below the bottom stave since contexts are ordered vertically in the order they first appear in \score{...}. So, if you want it betwen the staves, you have to define it from the beginning of the piece. If it's just a few measures, it's probably easiest to use explicit durations for each syllable instead of \lyricsto, since then you can start the lyrics with a single \skip. Something like: \score{ \new Staff { % 1st horn part ...} \new Lyrics \lyricmode { \skip 1*58 Here2 come4 the | cue2 notes2 | } \new Staff { % 2nd horn part ...} }
When I show cues for instruments in a different transposition, it seems appropriate to show the clef before and after the cues to indicate the change of "key," even though it's the same clef the horns use. Is there a way to force the clef to be displayed, even though its "the same"?
\set Staff.forceClef = ##t
