Here's an example which I put together late last year - I know it's lengthy, but it shows what can be done.
I would much prefer if I could input verse text into a variable and then either put it between the staves or as a freestanding verse at the end, using high level functions rather than layout specific markup. Should we approach Han-Wen to see if this could be a feature candidate for v 2.9? Dunstan On 18/02/06, Mats Bengtsson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Did you search the mailing list archives?
