Hi Tim,
If I set lyrics against a repeat with alternative endings the way I
find in the documentation, it all works fine -- usually. This is ok,
for example.
melody = \relative c' {
\repeat volta 2 {
c4 d e f |
}
\alternative
{
{ g1 }
{ c,1 }
}
}
words = \lyricmode {
\repeat volta 2
{
do re mi fa |
}
\alternative
{ so }
{ do }
}
\score {
<<
\new Staff { \melody }
\addlyrics { \words }
}
Is that really in the documentation? With voltas and barchecks in the
lyrics? =\
This is the way I would do it:
\version "2.12.2"
\include "english.ly"
global = {
\repeat volta 2 {
s1
}
\alternative
{
{ s1 }
{ s1 }
}
}
melody = \relative c' {
c4 d e f |
{ r2 r4 g4 }
{ c,1 }
}
words = \lyricmode {
do re mi fa
{ so }
{ do }
}
\score {
<<
\new Staff << \global \melody >>
\addlyrics { \words }
>>
}
Now, if the structure changes (e.g., you make the volta alternatives
ten bars each, instead of one) you only have to change it in one
place (i.e., the global variable).
[n.b. The {} inside the melody and words variables are, in this
version, unnecessary -- however, I find they help my eye to
distinguish the structure of the volta.]
Hope this helps!
Kieren.
