What you want to do is to stack them side-by-side using markup commands, rather like this:
\markup { \fill-line { \hspace #1.0 % add more of these at the beginning and end \hspace #1.0 % to move the verses closer together \column { "5. The fifth verse goes here" "With all its many lines" } \hspace #3 % The argument does matter here! \column { "6. The sixth verse goes here" "With all its many lines" \hspace #1.0 % Delete these at beginning and end \hspace #1.0 % if the verses are wide and you need room } } } If you need to put verses on top over verses, like this Verse 3 Verse 4 Verse 5 Verse 6 You can make a column of verses using code like this: \markup { \large { \fill-line { % This centers the words, which looks nicer \hspace #1.0 % gives the fill-line something to work with \column { "4. Verse four's first line" "And verse four's second" "Is followed by a third line" "And then by a fourth" \hspace #1.0 % (Basically inserts a blank line; the argument is irrelevant) "5. Verse five's first line" " . . . etc. . . . " } \hspace #1.0 % gives the fill-line something to work with } } } Hope that helps. Geoff On 9/12/06, Bodvar Bjorgvinsson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
First of all, as I have just recently started to learn LilyPond, thanks for a great software. It seems to handle almost anything regarding music. However, I cannot find out how to add lyrics or stanzas into two or more columns after the score (like verse 2 and 3 side by side). How can this be done? I have searched the archives, but nothing comes up.
