I am typesetting an SATB hymn with where the lyrics of the four voices
are almost the same. This results in ChoirStaff setup with two Staff
contexts and a Lyrics context inbetween. The staff contexts each contain
two voices.
\new ChoirStaff <<
\new Staff = upper <<
\new Voice = sop
\new Voice = alt
>>
\new Lyrics \lyricsto alt
\new Staff = lower <<
\new Voice = ten
\new Voice = bas
>>
>>
Now in bar 38 soprano and bass have 2 syllables less than alto and
tenor. I'd like to add the alternative soprano text above the upper
staff just for that single bar.
I have tried the following, defining the auxiliary soparno lyrics to be:
sopTxt = \new Lyrics = sopL \with {
alignAboveContext = "upper"
}
\lyricsto sop \lyricmode { be with Him }
and replacing bar 38 of the soprano melody { c4 g g2 } by
<< { c4 g g2 } { \sopTxt } >>
This has the intended effect of the lyrics "be with Him" being aligned
above the upper staff, but as a side effect, the complete soprano melody
from the next bar onwards vanishes! Is this a bug, or should I do this
differently?
Complete minimal working example, omitting the lower staff:
\version "2.16.2"
sopTxt = \new Lyrics = sopL \with { alignAboveContext = "upper" }
\lyricsto sop \lyricmode { A C }
sopV = \relative c'' { << { c2 c } { \sopTxt } >> c4 c c c }
altV = \relative c' { c4 c c c c c c c }
\score {
\new ChoirStaff <<
\new Staff = upper <<
\new Voice = sop { \voiceOne \sopV }
\new Voice = alt { \voiceTwo \altV }
>>
\new Lyrics \lyricsto alt { A B C D E F G H }
>>
}
Where are the four c4 notes of the soprano?
