Re: Little problem with lilypond (Modified by Maurits Lamers)

Yes, you're absolutely right.

About your conclusion that " the lyrics *are* part of the description 
of how vocal music is to be sung" I would even be more sincere:
There is no music without the lyrics. The music that is above it is 
only a rythmic and melodic description on how the lyrics have to be 
sung. :)

Still I am no step further to a solution. I even got to a point now 
that lilypond is giving no more error when parsing.
But it doesn't print lyrics either...

my code now looks like this:



\score {
\new ChoirStaff {

\notes <<

                
                \new Staff {
                        \key g \major
                        \time 3/4
                        \context Voice = melodietwee \relative c' {
                                \partial 4 s4 | s 2.*15 | s2
                        
 				d4 | g g8 a g fis | e4 e e | a4 a8 b a g | fis4 d d | b'4 b8 c b a

                                b4 a8 a g g | d'4 d, d8 d | e4 a fis | b g c | 
a d b
                                }
                }
                \context Lyrics = stemeenlyrics { s1 }
                
                \new Staff {
                 \notes {
                        \key g \major
                        \time 3/4
                        \context Voice = stemtwee \relative c' {
                                \partial 4 s4 | s 2.*15 | s2

                        }
                 }
                }
                
                \context Lyrics = stemtweelyrics { s1 }

        \lyrics <<
                \lyricsto "melodietwee" \context Lyrics = stemeenlyrics {

                        }
                \lyricsto "stemtwee" \context Lyrics = stemtweelyrics {
                                We wish you a mer -- ry Christ -- mas, we wish

                                }
                                
                        >>
}


\paper {
        \context {
                \RemoveEmptyStaffContext
                }

}
}

Even after tweaking, it doesn't render lyrics...

I tried to put the lyrics outside of the Choirstaff context. Didn't 
work because of "braces don't match"
Removing the \lyrics << ... >> resulted in: Having to be in lyrics mode.

I just don't understand this. I only want two staves with each one line 
of lyrics... It can't be that difficult...

Any one ??
