Actually, no, you can't assume I haven't tried it, thank you very much. I was hoping there was a more graceful way of doing it besides using skips. But skips work. I guess I'll just use skips. Thank you for your time. I do appreciate the help. -- View this message in context:

You see, I don't want the verses to line up with the chorus. It should go like this: chorusmusic chorustext versemusic verse1 verse2 So it ought to show as if it were two different pieces, one above the other, but it has to all go within the same \score so that I can create a single midi

Hi, all, I'm having trouble placing a chorus line. If I put the chorus in one \score and the verses in another \score, then they display correctly, but I can't get the midi for both scores as one file. It should have the entire chorus first, with the music for the verses in a separate staff.

What you're asking for is not adding a natural when there's a previous sharp in a different voice, but in a different staff. As a long-time singer myself, I'd find that terribly confusing. If the 2 voices are on the same staff, I could understand it. -- Phil Holmes - Original Message
