I'm stuck, y'all.
I have a song that goes like this:
--
soprano
alto
15 lyric verses in between
tenor
bass
soprano
alto
just one lyric in between - it's the chorus
tenor
bass
soprano
alto
15 lyric verses in between \repeatOfFourWords
tenor
bass
Thanks for the tips, y'all, for the scrunching. I believe
things are working now. And Urs, thanks for the link to the
lilylib!

Recently I updated my lilypond from 2.18 to 2.19.44. I am

This is the case even if I don't create a midi.

The only thing I can complain about with this is that it

takes a few seconds) to compile. Here is the error log I
get for your script:

Well, I only recall one alternative and that is using Harm's

mentioned, the numbers end up in various places. Using
instrumentName always puts them in the same place.
Hey! I think I may have found a possible bug.
So, I have been playing around with the use of
instrumentName and shortInstrumentName for uses of numbering

So, Mr. Harm, I'd like to use your stanza-number-every-line

Because stanza numbers only appear on the first line. Using

During my piece I have a \break which causes the

There is this one song that is in c-minor and so the key

But c-major doesn't need any extra signs.

Thanks, Mr. Meyn,
That certainly does the trick.
So you can't write macros for \with{} statements?
Why couldn't I do it this way, if I just want to create the

Where can I find the docs to explain how the macro works?
