Thanks Valentin, that's quite helpful. I ended up taking an approach you
suggested in a previous
post<http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-user/2010-10/msg00687.html>to
this list. Using the NoteNames context with alternative note names
seems
to be doing pretty much everything I want.
Here's a revised version of my script that works as desired:
% Moveable Do as lyrics example
% define solfege pitchnames
pitchnames = #`(
(do . ,(ly:make-pitch -1 0 NATURAL))
(re . ,(ly:make-pitch -1 1 NATURAL))
(mi . ,(ly:make-pitch -1 2 NATURAL))
)
#(ly:parser-set-note-names parser pitchnames)
% Apparently, LilyPond reverts to dutch names when
% using the NoteNames context. The following
% workaround was posted by V. Villenave at
% http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-user/2010-10/msg00687.html
newnames =
#`(("c" . "do")
("d" . "re")
("e" . "mi"))
myNoteNames =
#(lambda (grob)
(let* ((default-name (ly:grob-property grob 'text))
(new-name (assoc-get default-name newnames)))
(ly:grob-set-property! grob 'text new-name)
(ly:text-interface::print grob)))
% compose as though in C major
mynotes = \relative do' {\key do \major do2 re4( mi4) }
% transpose to desired key
melody = \transpose do mi { \mynotes }
% Produce score with solfege names as lyrics
\score {
<<
\new Voice = "myVoice" {
\melody
}
\context NoteNames \with {
\override NoteName #'stencil = #myNoteNames
} { \mynotes }
>>
}
\version "2.12.3"
This approach seems to work ok with a larger example where I defined all the
chromatic solfege names. The only issue I seem to be encountering in the
larger example is an unintended doubling of voices on the midi output. Does
the NoteNames engraver produce a midi stream by default? If so, how can I
turn it off?
My midi section looks like
\midi {
%% voodoo that lets us specify instrument in melody
\context {
\Staff
\remove "Staff_performer"
}
\context {
\Voice
\consists "Staff_performer"
}
}
Cheers,
Mike
