All,
Trying to finish this piece and it's giving me fits.
With Tyler's help I got the Solo lyrics where I wanted them. Thanks, Tyler.
But doing this and adding appropriate dynamics for \voiceTwo results in
this:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/z6176sqk913xa45/LPExample_LyricsSpacingIssue.png?dl=0
Note the lyric placement in measures 63-64 for the top staff. These
lyrics occur before the polyphonic voice context that starts on b4 of
m64. I have no idea how to fix this. The documentation at
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.19/Documentation/learning/vertical-spacing
mentions use of
\override VerticalAxisGroup.
nonstaff-relatedstaff-spacing.padding = #5
\override VerticalAxisGroup.
nonstaff-unrelatedstaff-spacing.padding = #5
But that does not work when using a variable: sopranoVerse = \lyricmode {}
So, I tried to perhaps break the five measure Solo line into a new staff
following
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.19/Documentation/learning/nesting-music-expressions
Nothing doing. The minute I do I loose the context connection between
\lyricsto and the Solo \new Voice (code follows) (music staff is
created, just no lyrics) with the error:
Untitled.ly:21:19: warning: cannot find Voice `Solo'
\new Lyrics
\lyricsto "Solo" {
So, can anyone help with one of two solutions? how to move the lyrics in
m63-64 up so they are closer to the staff ? or create a new staff that
has the proper lyrics? I'd prefer the new staff (it's visually elegant
and uncluttered).
