Simple hymn question
Hello all, I've got what should be a simple question, but one which is giving me no end of trouble. I'm attempting to set a carol for homophonic choir, so I do *not* need independent voices, but I do need the lyrics between the staves. All of the examples I have found online are considerably more complex than what I need and I can easily add the lyrics below the bass part. Getting them between the staves should be simple, but I don't know how to do it and have not found clear instructions for my simple case. (Just to be clear, I am looking for display something like this: http://www.christmas-carol-music.org/SATB/InTheBleak.html) Can anyone help me? It's frustrating that something seemingly so simple is proving so elusive and difficult. I'm hoping someone will look at this and say well, the answer obviously, is to do this…” and point me to an actual example that does it. Best, Arle ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

Without a sample code, it is not easy to tell you what's wrong, but perhaps http://lsr.dsi.unimi.it/LSR/Item?id=178 is of some help?

The examples in
http://www.lilypond.org/doc/v2.17/Documentation/learning/vocal-ensembles should
help.
You need to either
a) place the Lyrics contexts between the Staff contexts and add a \context
block at the end to contain the \lyricsto, or
b) name the top Staff and add \with { alignBelowContext ... } to the Lyrics
contexts.
Both of these are shown in the example templates.
