The short answer is that this is used for single-staff polyphony, but since
giving a short answer is cheating, I won't reveal it until you have read
the manual :-)

  polyphony/chord constructions (how to use , and ' properly)

Or rather the address that Mats gave, which is in the development manual,
but which concerning this particular section applies to any version of 
Lilypond.

http://kainhofer.com/~lilypond/Documentation/user/lilypond/Relative- 
octave-entry.html#Relative-octave-entry



here I find immediatly:

If the preceding item is a chord, the first note of the chord is used  
as the reference point for the octave placement of a following note  
or chord:


but because I mixed up chords and polyphony I also need:

Polyphony does not change the relationship of notes within a  
\relative { } block. Each note is calculated relative to the note  
immediately preceding it.


\relative { noteA  noteB \\ noteC  noteD }

noteC is relative to noteB, not noteA; noteD is relative to noteC,  
not noteB or noteA.


(from the new manual 3.2.1 I'm seeing Voices)


These issues are described to some extent in the section on  
Explicitly instantiating

voices.

this chapter indeed answers my questions

thank you for the help

I work partly by trialerror which can be very time-consuming.

I always use the search function of the lilypond.pdf and most of the  
times I found an example that covers what I'am after. I find this  
most convenient (to work with examples) e.g. I immediatly understood  
the example Mats mailed me so maybe it would be a good idea to  
include it to the manual...


I hope this answers your question somehow...

there's always room for one more to look at it, if you discover that your

Re: typeset lyrics

2007-11-01 Thread Mats Bengtsson

One solution is described in section Divisi Lyrics,
namely to use different Voice contexts for the different
parts of music. Notice that you have to keep the
original Voice context alive over the 6 measures
using s1*6.

What I primarily had in mind was the second example in the section.
For example you could do something along the lines of.

\version 2.10.0
song = \relative c'{c d e f | g f e ( d ) | c1 | s1*4 | g4 ( a ) b g | c1 }
interlude = \relative c'{ s1*3 | d1 | b | g | b | }
text = \lyricmode { Here's some ly -- rics for the first part. 
 Here comes the rest }


\score{

 \new Staff 
   \new Voice = songvoice \song
   \new Voice = interludevoice \interlude
 
 \new Lyrics \lyricsto songvoice \text

}
