Hello Marco,
Always copy the list in your messages, to let the them know.
Put as many \skip as you have notes in the melody in the first 8 bars
if you use \addlyrics or \lyricsto,
Much more convenient: use _ for every note without a lyric syllable.
(in place of \skip)
otherwise use skip2. eight times for example.
HTH, Simon
I'm setting a piece of barbershop music, in which each of the four
voices has different pitches. Often, the outer voices will be singing
vocalises, while the inner ones have the melody and a harmony line. As
often, all four voices share the same lyrics and rhythm, again with
different pitches. Visually, there are passages with centered lyrics
between two staves, and vocalises above the top staff and below the
bottom staff, coming and going. To avoid writing four complete sets of
lyrics, I use \skipsy \skips in the lyrics of the outer voices. I wrote
this little function to avoid many, many \skips:
%<-------------------------------------
lSkip =
#(define-music-function
(parser location skips)
(number?)
#{
\repeat unfold #skips { \skip 1 }
#})
%<-------------------------
It requires counting the number of notes to be skipped, but lets me enter :
tWords = \lyricmode {
\skip 1
doo doo doo doo wee -- oo
\lSkip #3
doo __ doo
\lSkip #7
doo __ doo
\lSkip #7
doo doo doo doo wee -- oo doo __
}
The drawback, and my question to the assembled wisdom, is that the
vocalises require lyric extenders, but the \skip seems to extend the
lines over the skipped notes. Is there a way to make sure the extenders
end before the first skipped note?
Cheers,
Colin
