Hello list,
is there a possibility to re-use lyrics in a markup?
I am working on a musical for children and I get the sheets for several
instruments, choir, partition etc. by a simple shell script which calls sed
and lilypond.
Now I wonder whether it is possible to create a kind of text book by
including the lyrics in a markup, perhaps with a scheme function which
replaces the " -- " by "".
Is it possible to store the text in a variable?
I tried
\version "2.13.46"
words = { This is my ex -- amp -- le text }
text = \lyricsmode { \words }
melody = \relative c' { c4 d e f | g a c2 }
\score {
\new Staff {
\new Voice { \melody }
\addlyrics { \text }
}
}
% for text only, there would be then something like
%
% \markup { word-wrap { \some-scheme-filter \words } }
but lilypond complains about the first line. Is it possible to achieve
what I want? I'd prefer a lilypondish solution over some script hacking ...
Thanks in advance
Marc
