Hi,
I have another question pleae. I have typeset several Orthodox liturgical music
chant settings. Before, I would type out every sylable of the music even where
there is a "recitative" (several word on the same chord.
However, I have a score somone had sent me, that, for the recitative parts,
prints only the chord at the beginning of the recitative, and the chord at the
end. For the exmample I was sent, only the altoWords line.
But, I am not sure how to use this, and am working on mastering it; and could
use some help please. Here is part of what I have:
sopMusic = \relative c'' {
% Music follows here.
\set Timing.measureLength = #(ly:make-moment 13/4)
g'4 g a2(b) g4 g g a b c2 \bar""
\set Timing.measureLength = #(ly:make-moment 2/4)
b4 b \bar""
\set Timing.measureLength = #(ly:make-moment 5/4)
a2 g2 \bar""
}
altoMusic = \relative c'' {
\set Timing.measureLength = #(ly:make-moment 13/4)
d4 d fs2(g) g4 g g g g g2 \bar""
\set Timing.measureLength = #(ly:make-moment 2/4)
g4 g \bar""
\set Timing.measureLength = #(ly:make-moment 4/4)
fs2 d2 \bar""
}
altoWords = \lyricmode {
When the stone __ had been sealed by the Jews,
\once \override LyricText.self-alignment-X = #LEFT
while_the_soldiers_were_guar -- ding_Thy_most -- pure
\once \override LyricText.self-alignment-X = #CENTER
Bo -- dy.
\once \override LyricText.self-alignment-X = #LEFT
}
So. the recitative should have:
"While the soldiers .. most-pure"
and Bod--y for the last two half-notes. Also, I seem to have 2 extra g4 in the
alto line for the recitative.
I am not sure how to change and adress this; I have been trying to change the
underlines and such in the lyrics but to no avail.
Thanks,
Michael D
