Subject: Lyrics disappear with associatedVoice in a duet
Fellow Lilypond Users:
I'm writing a vocal duet on a ChoirStaff with lyrics between two
staves. When one voice rests, I'm trying to use associatedVoice to
make the lyrics follow the other voice. I would expect the lyrics to
remain between the staves, but the lyrics disappear completely.
Here is the tiniest example I can write:
========
\version "2.16.0" % also tried 2.17.6
\new ChoirStaff <<
\new Staff \new Voice = "SopranoVoice" \relative c' { c4 d e f r1 }
\new Lyrics \lyricsto "SopranoVoice" {
So -- pran -- os rule.
\set associatedVoice = #"AltoVoice"
Al -- tos are cool.
}
\new Staff \new Voice = "AltoVoice" \relative c' { r1 f4 e d c }
>>
========
I can get the voice switch to work by (a) reading the NR, where it says
"\set associatedVoice = "two" % must be set one syllable early" and (b)
creating the alto part before we try to set the lyrics to it. However,
the lyrics seem stuck below the music for me.
\new ChoirStaff <<
\new Staff \new Voice = "SopranoVoice" \relative c' { c4 d e f r1 }
\new Staff \new Voice = "AltoVoice" \relative c' { r1 f4 e d c }
\new Lyrics \lyricsto "SopranoVoice" {
So -- pran -- os
\set associatedVoice = #"AltoVoice"
rule.
Al -- tos are cool.
}
>>
Thanks, Phil. I did have associatedVoice one syllable early in my real
score; I just failed to do that in my tiny example. Oversimplification,
I suppose. ;-)
Thanks again.
Eric
