Cannot get the lyrics in polyphony
Hi all, can somebody explain my mistake in coding the following example? If I code the music like nogood I cannot get any lyrics. I can only get the lyrics if I code the music like good. Why? There is surely something I am missing... Ciao, Ric === \version 2.8.0 \header { title = Prova } \include italiano.ly global = { \time 4/4} nogood = \relative do'' { { \stemDown do2 re8 mi8 fa8 sol8 } \\ { \stemUp mi2 fa8 sol8 la8 si8 } | { \stemDown do1 } \\ { \stemUp sol1} } good = \relative do'' { do mi 2 re fa 8 mi sol 8 fa la 8 sol si 8 do sol 1 } voce = \lyricmode { ah oh eh ih ah oh } \score { \new Staff { \global \context Voice = nogood { \nogood } \context Voice = good { \good } } \override Score.LyricText #'font-family = #'sans \new Lyrics \lyricsto good\voce \new Lyrics \lyricsto nogood\voce \layout { } \midi { \tempo 4=90 } } ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

I have been invited by Mats to send him my stuff, which I did, and the very next minute I found out what the problem was: I didn't remove the \new Lyrics after each \lyricsto clause, nullifying the effect of the grouping. Of, course, everything works as aspected and as described by Mats. Thanks again. An interesting issue is raised by this experience: I often fail to see the relations among the various components in the lily syntax. May it be because I don't know the scheme language, may it be my personal dumbness (;-) Anyway, starting from the primary concept of context, there is really a lot to absorb. With your valued help, I will keep trying. Cheers, Ric ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
Re: Lyrics alignment problem
Are you sure? When I try the following example with LilyPond version 2.4.5, I get all the lyrics in a single line. /Mats I am sure. If it's not considered an abuse, I think I could post my .png version of the snippet. Unfortunately, I am running Lilypond 2.4.2, the Debian Woody version. Can anybody tell me how to upgrade gracefully from this version to a newer one? (I think I should uninstall it, download a newer tarball and compile, isn't it? ;-) Cheers, Ric ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

Much worse, hacker activity took down my whole repository a couple of weeks ago. But I could probably revive it if there's interest. CVS lacks the post-2.4.2 tags, but I could probably build the HEAD without any negative effect... Yes, please! I'd rather not compile a full featured package.

Building 2.5 seems unfeasible on Woody, I'm afraid... er... we were talking of a 2.4.5 not of a 2.5.x, didn't we?

Lyrics alignment problem
dear lilypond users, I am experiencing some trouble in writing lyrics in a song with repeats and alternatives. Here is a sample of what I get: the text of this simple song is being displayed on three lines. What am I supposed to do to have my text on a single line?

Sorry, I tried it, but it doesn't still work. Any hint?
