Re: How to get "N.C." in a chord line

2006-10-03 Thread Holly Briscoe
Thanks, Dick! Earlier today I spent two hours searching the list for "pause chord" "suspend chord" "no chord" and any other word I could think of with no results. I couldn't find \notemode in the manual or the program reference (at least not by searching in the doc that comes up when I click th

Arvid helped me out with one of the problems I had with lyric extenders in the thread http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-user/2006-09/msg00560.html where the lyric extender went too far. I'm reposting this other problem separately, hoping that someone will have a solution. The sopranos

How to get "N.C." in a chord line

2006-10-03 Thread Holly Briscoe
Hi again to the absolutely terrific list! In my current score, there is a measure without a chord, so I put s1 in the \chordmode section. Nothing prints above the chordless measure, but since I also have \set chordChanges = ##t, the performer will think the chord from the preceding measure ough

VOCAL Cue Note Problems

2006-09-26 Thread Holly Briscoe
Greetings all, The cue notes discussed in section 8.3.4 of version 2.8.6 of the manual aren't exactly what I'm dealing with. The cue notes I need are in the vocal parts, where an optional note is printed in case the choir has enough voices to cover more than the four basic voices (i.e., bariton

Can't get soprano lyric above staff

This is as close as I have been able to get the last five measures of this piece. In the last four measures, the sopranos and basses sing together on the tied Fs, while the altos and tenors sing together on the eighth and quarter notes. The "thee" that the sopranos are to sing and hold are in t
