Dear All, I'm trying to create a piece of music where accompaniment consists of one measure fragments and they are then combined into a sequence. That seems doable. However, I would have to add lyrics to these fragments and I'm sort of stuck. \addlyrics and \lyricsto seem to produce undesired results.
Is this possible or do I have to write the text in one block and just attach it to the complete sequence? Even that poses some problems. If I attach the lyrics inside the ChoirStaff they are placed on top of the fragments. Below you can find a two measure example and two images – current output and the output I would like to get. -Risto %%%%% Start %%%%% \version "2.11.37" \paper {ragged-right = ##t} % upper staff of fragment one dUp = \relative c' \context Voice = "sa" { r8 <f a>16 <f a> r8 <f a> } % upper staff of fragment two aUp = \relative c' \context Voice = "sa" { r8 <e g>16 <e g> r8 <e g> } % lower staff of fragment one dLow = \relative c \context Voice = "b" { d8 r a r } % lower staff of fragment two aLow = \relative c \context Voice = "b" { a8 r c r } % fragment one dComb = << \context Staff = "upper" {\dUp} % Text here? \context Staff = "lower" {\clef bass \dLow} % Text here? Preferably above the music. >> %fragment two aComb = << \context Staff = "upper" {\aUp} % Text here? \context Staff = "lower" {\clef bass \aLow} % Text here? Preferably above the music. >> solo = \relative c' \context Voice = "solo" { d4 d a a } \new ChoirStaff << \new Staff = "solo" { \time 2/4 \solo } \new Lyrics \lyricsto "solo" { Tral lal lal lah! } % accompaniment {\time 2/4 \dComb \aComb } \new Lyrics \with {alignBelowContext="upper"} \lyricsto "sa" { la -- lah lah la -- lah lah } \new Lyrics \with {alignAboveContext="lower"} \lyricsto "b" { Tral tral tral tral } >>%%% END %%%%%%
