Refrain Hymn Setting
Here's the problem:
I would like to format for a refrain at the beginning of a hymn.
I'm unsure of the manuals (both snippet and notation) when it comes to
this, because it doesn't show 4 part harmony (independent voices) in the
examples. I'm not sure what to do.
Here's the parsing error message:
126:50 0: error: unknown escaped string: `\verse'
\new Voice = soprano { \voiceOne \refrain
\verse }
C:/Documents and Settings/josh/Desktop/Men Rest U Souls.ly:126:50 1:
error: syntax error, unexpected STRING
\new Voice = soprano { \voiceOne \refrain
\verse }
C:/Documents and Settings/josh/Desktop/Men Rest U Souls.ly:124:2 2:
error: errors found, ignoring music expression
\new ChoirStaff
fatal error: failed files: C:/Documents and Settings/josh/Desktop/Men Rest
U Souls.ly
Exited with return code 1.
and attached is the full file.
How would I setup a hymn to include a refrain in the beginning?

Re: Refrain Hymn Setting
My approach to handling parts for hymn settings is to define the music for
the verses and chorus independently and then apply nested simultaneous and
sequential voices. So, for instance,
\score {
\new Staff = top {
\new Voice = sopRef { \sopRefrainNotes } \new Voice = altRef {
\altRefrainNotes }
\new Voice = sopVrs { \sopVerseNotes } \new Voice = altVrs {
\altVerseNotes }
}
\new Lyrics \lyricsto sopRef { \refrainLyrics }
\new Lyrics \lyricsto sopVrs { \verseLyrics }
\new Staff = bottom {
\new Voice = tenRef { \tenRefrainNotes } \new Voice = basRef {
\basRefrainNotes }
\new Voice = tenVrs { \tenVerseNotes } \new Voice = basVrs {
\basVerseNotes }
}
}
What this does is define the music in the score block according to the hymn
structure. This is a simplified version of the score block I actually use
for my hymn settings. I have an extra layer of complexity because I define
bars, breaks, rehearsal marks (CHORUS, D.C. al Fine, etc.) in a
separate voice and I use the part combiner functions with these individual
voices hidden so that I can still hook lyrics on them.
Cheers,
Carl

Re: Refrain Hymn Setting
This is so wonderful, and a great step forward. However, I need some
guidance here:
I may be stuck in trying to adjust the score to fit these parameters. Could
you provide a short example?
Do you have a template for use?
Thank you so much for your time. This is incredibly helpful.
