Hi Kevin, is this something you like?
\version "2.18.2" << \new DrumStaff << \new DrumVoice = voice { \stemUp \drummode { hh4 hh hh hh }} \new DrumVoice { \stemDown \drummode { bd4 sn bd sn }} >> \new Lyrics \lyricsto voice { One Two Three Four } >> If the text does not follow a name voice (= voice in the example) using \lyricsto, the syllables need duration like notes do. I think addlyrics is a short-hand that only works with normal Staffs or at least not with multiple voices: http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.18/Documentation/notation/common-notation-for-vocal-music#automatic-syllable-durations Cheers, Joram Am 06.02.2015 um 01:10 schrieb Kevin Tough: > \version "2.18.2" > % MinimalDrumWithMidi.ly > > \include "./sjs_drumconfig.ly" > > %#(set-global-staff-size 70) > > \paper { > ragged-right = ##f > } > > \header { > title = "Minimal Drum With Midi" > composer = "EwithM" > } > > \score { > > \new DrumStaff { << > % \set DrumStaff.drumStyleTable = #(alist->hash-table sjsdrums) > \new DrumVoice { \stemUp \drummode { hh4 hh hh hh }} > \new DrumVoice { \stemDown \drummode {bd4 sn bd sn }} > > >> > \addlyrics { One Two Three Four } > } > > \layout { > indent = 0.0\cm > } > \midi { > \tempo 4 = 120 > } > } _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
