Dear all,
Trying to typeset a song I am faced with the following problem for
which I
can;t find a solution in the manual or snippet repository. I kindly
request
your help.
I'm typesetting a song with one staff, where the refrain comes first
and
spans multiple lines of notes; after that come 3 stanzas. I'd like
the song
text to be placed under the stanza melody, but I don't want to add
empty
lines to the refrain. I'm looking for a solution with one \score
block. Can
this be done?
In a scetch:
=====several notes, line 1 =====
Text to refrain, line 1
=====several notes, line 2 =====
Text to refrain, line 2
=====several notes, line 3 =====
Text to stanza 1, line 3
Text to stanza 2, line 3
Text to stanza 3, line 3
=====several notes, line 4 =====
Text to stanza 1, line 4
Text to stanza 2, line 4
Text to stanza 3, line 4
To me it would seem logical to change the name of the Voice in line
3, and
the associate the lyrics of the stanzas with the voice name in line
3. But
I don't knwo how to do this.

Maybe not the best solution, but one that works. Use two voices on
separate staves, explicit line breaks, hide empty staves:
=====voice1 notes, line1 (empty measures voice2)===== BREAK
Text to refrain, line 1 (associated with voice1)
=====voice1 notes, line2 (empty measures voice2)===== BREAK
Text to refrain, line 2 (associated with voice1)
=====voice2 notes, line3 (empty measures voice1)===== BREAK
Text to stanza 1, line 1 (associated with voice2)
Text to stanza 2, line 1 (associated with voice2)
Text to stanza 3, line 1 (associated with voice2)
=====voice2 notes, line4 (empty measures voice1)===== BREAK
Text to stanza 1, line 2 (associated with voice2)
Text to stanza 2, line 2 (associated with voice2)
Text to stanza 3, line 2 (associated with voice2)
If you use spacer notes (rests should work too) for the empty measures,
then the refrain lyrics will show up only in lines 1 and 2 and the
stanzas will show up with the notes in lines 3 and 4. Then the empty
measures can be hidden with:
\layout {
\context {
\Staff
\RemoveEmptyStaves
\override VerticalAxisGroup #'remove-first = ##t
}
}
thus, showing only the refrain in the first two lines and the stanzas
in the last two lines.
Good luck!
