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
