I've been tasked with altering a score I've prepared. The score
currently consists of a piano part with a vocal line and a contrabass
obligato line. As it stands, all is well. Now I need to put in ossia
passages for the voice. I have managed to create ossia passages by
using examples in the manual but I'm running into a problem with getting
the lyrics to appear. I want the ossia musical passages to appear above
the original but I don't want lyrics under the ossia passage, only under
the original. I currently have the separate elements of the vocal
material defined like this:
% Lyrics
soprano = \lyricmode { "soprano lyrics" }
% music
sop = \relative c'' { the soprano's music }
% assembled lyrics and music
vocal = {
<<
\new Voice = sop \relative {
<<
\clef G
\global
\sop
>>
}
\addlyrics { \soprano }
>>
}
I'd like to define my ossia sections and put them together with the
definitions I already have without doing too much violence to the work
I've already done. I was experimenting with the ossias (ossiæ?) from
section 1.6.2 of the Notation Manual but ran into trouble with the
lyrics not showing up and getting an error about; cannot find Voice
'uniqueContext0' or something to that effect. I suspect there is some
detail involving nesting, contexts or something which is proving beyond
my ability to locate and/or decipher in the docs.
Help?
