Date: Wed, Oct 27, 2010 at 12:22 AM Subject: Re: Type setting chord analysis Hello, I found this thread while hunting for ideas on setting figured bass and roman numerals for theory exercises since I’m a theory teacher and like the flexibility of Lilypond for harmony examples plus my own compositions. I can create a score and get \figures to work, but when I add \lyrics I find that Lilypond wants to place one roman numeral per measure. I’ve recreated the score in this thread and like the results, but is there a way to do this without using the /parallelMusic command? Here is the score as I’ve done so far. staffSATBMixedChoir = \new ChoirStaff { << \new Staff { \time 3/4 \set Staff.instrumentName="S/A" \key g \major \clef treble << \context Voice = "melodySAT" \relative c'' { \voiceOne g4 g a fis4. g8 a4 b b c b4. a8 g4 a g fis g2. \bar "||"} \context Voice = "Alto" \relative c' { \voiceTwo d4 d e d4. cis8 d4 g g a g4. fis8 g4 e d d d2. \bar "||"} >> } \new Staff { \set Staff.instrumentName="T/B" \key g \major \clef bass << \context Voice = "Tenor" \relative c' { \voiceOne b4 g c a4. a8 a4 d e e d4. c8 b4 c b a b2. \bar "||"} \context Voice = "Bass" \relative c { \voiceTwo g4 b c d4. e8 fis4 g e c d4. d8 e4 c d d g2. \bar "||"} >> } >> } \score { << \staffSATBMixedChoir % >> \figures { s4 <6> <6> s4. <4 3>8 <6>4 s4 s4 <6>4 <6 4>4. <7>8 s4 <6>4 <6 4> 4 s4 s2.} \lyrics { I I ii } %obviously more numbers to go! >> } I had another version of this that worked out rather well using Frescobaldi which used a piano template with multiple voices, but the roman numerals always appeared above the figured bass. Using a /lyricsto command didn’t work out well. Thanks for taking a look at this. On Sat, Oct 23, 2010 at 12:04 AM, Valentin Villenave <[email protected]> wrote: > It certainly is.
