It doesn't work when I add more lines of lyrics to it. I'm using the shortened code below which gives me a funky line arrangements, but my music breaks at end of "part one" so the lyrics line spacing returns to normal. %=========================== \version "2.16.2" melodyI = \relative c' { \clef treble \key c \major \time 4/4 % intro c c c c } melodyII = \relative c' { % part one d d d d % ok if I add \break here } melodyIII = \relative c' { % part two e e e e } lyricI = \lyricmode { \set stanza = #"1. " part one here } lyricII = \lyricmode { \set stanza = #"2. " part two here } lyricIII = \lyricmode { \set stanza = #"3. " part three here } lyricIV = \lyricmode { \set stanza = #"4. " part four here } altI = \lyricmode { part one here } altII = \lyricmode { part two here } altIII = \lyricmode { part three here } altIV = \lyricmode { part four here } \score { << \new Staff { \repeat volta 3 { \new Voice = "intro" { \melodyI } \new Voice = "part one" { \melodyII } } \new Voice = "part two" { \melodyIII } } % lyrics line 1 \new Lyrics = X \lyricsto "part one" { \override LyricText #'font-family = #'typewriter \lyricI } \new Lyrics = X \lyricsto "part two" { \override LyricText #'font-family = #'typewriter \lyricIV } \new Lyrics = X \lyricsto "part one" { \override LyricText #'font-family = #'sans \altI } \new Lyrics = X \lyricsto "part two" { \override LyricText #'font-family = #'sans \altIV } % lyrics line 2 \new Lyrics { \lyricsto "part one" { \override LyricText #'font-family = #'typewriter \lyricII } } \new Lyrics { \lyricsto "part one" { \override LyricText #'font-family = #'sans \altII } } % lyrics line 3 \new Lyrics { \lyricsto "part one" { \override LyricText #'font-family = #'typewriter \lyricIII } } \new Lyrics { \lyricsto "part one" { \override LyricText #'font-family = #'sans \altIII } } >> } %=========================== Regards, -- TY (email resent to list, I always keep forgetting not to use the reply button on the list web interface.) _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
