Hi, Is there a mechanism for lyrics similar to \quoteDuring? I naively tried
\version "2.16.0" soprano = \relative c'' { a2 b4 c d e f g } alto = \relative c' { e4 f2 g4 a b c d } sopranoText = \lyricmode { one two three four five six seven eight } altoText = \lyricmode { en to tre fire fem seks syv otte } \addQuote "qsoprano" { \soprano } \addQuote "qalto" { \alto } mixture = { \quoteDuring "qsoprano" { s1 } \quoteDuring "qalto" { s1 } } \addQuote "tsoprano" { \sopranoText } \addQuote "talto" { \altoText } mixText = { \quoteDuring "tsoprano" { s1 } \quoteDuring "talto" { s1 } } \score { << \new Staff { \new Voice = "soprano" { \soprano } } \new Lyrics \lyricsto "soprano" { \sopranoText } \new Staff { \new Voice = "alto" { \alto } } \new Lyrics \lyricsto "alto" { \altoText } \new Staff { \new Voice = "mix" { \mixture } } \new Lyrics \lyricsto "mix" { \mixText }
}
If the magic had gone my way, the bottom lyrics had read one two three fire fem seks syv I attach a scan of what I got instead.My motivation is that I have a piece for six (human) voices all typed and ready but now need to rearrange it for five voices. I have successfully made extensive use of \quoteDuring for the notes. The lyrics consist of fa -- la -- lah's and ting -- e -- lings rather than real words, so they need to follow the part they came from, so a \quoteDuring mechanism would save me a lot of error prone copy-and-paste.
