I think \lyricsto is a shorthand for \lyricmode { \set assosiatedVoice ... } so: text = \lyricsto "alto" { bla bla bla } is equivalent to: text = \lyricmode { \set associatedVoice = "alto" bla bla bla } Both do not explicitly create an Lyrics context, so you still need to create one: \new Lyrics \text Most times I use \lyricsto and I put the lyricsto in the \score section, like: soprano = \relative c' { c d e f g } sopranoText = \lyricmode { bla bli ble blo blu } \score { << \new Staff \new Voice = "mel" \soprano \new Lyrics \lyricsto "mel" \sopranoText >> } best regards, Wilbert Berendsen -- Frescobaldi, LilyPond editor for KDE: http://www.frescobaldi.org/ _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
