Is there a clean way to enter a phrase followed by the corresponding notes
in a \relative block? The example given in the docs,
{
\time 3/4
\relative c' { c2 e4 g2. }
\addlyrics { play the game }
}
is fine for a small example, but it gets messy for longer music. I
do a lot of transcribing choral parts out of printed scores and would
like to be able to keep the lyrics together with the music in chunks
of a few bars, e.g. something like
themusic = \relative do {
<snip>
\withlyrics { Stir- ring be- yond your watch- ful eye. } {
do2 do4 do |
do4 re do la |
\time 3/4 re2. |
}
\withlyrics { Though they may not flow- er, flow- er, } {
\time 2/4 sol,4 do |
\time 2/2 fa,2 mi2 |
re4( mi) fa( la) |
\time 3/4 te2 la4 |
}
<snip>
}
I'm finding that I make fewer errors and can fix the ones I do make
faster if the lyrics are close to the notation. As it is now, I have
to re-enter (cut, paste & edit) the lyrics in a separate \lyricmode
block. Any suggestions for how to write the \withLyrics function? Or
is there an existing clean solution I haven't found yet?
Thanks,
Mike
