Using Lilypond 2.5.20, Mac OS 10.3.9
Problem: song with 2 versions (not verses) of lyrics (i.e., 2 songs
using the same musical setting). I wished to print one version in
regular text and the other version in italics (underneath the first,
using \lyricsto).
Solution for italic text-
alternatetext = \lyricmode {
\override LyricText #'font-shape = #'italic
\set fontSize = #-1
\set stanza = "1"
Let shouts of glad -- ness rise
<snip>
}
I would suggest this might be added to the manual, since I found no
obvious reference to using \override LyricText #'font-shape = #'italic.
If I should have known it, I didn't. I discovered the solution by going
to one of the first pieces I coded, where I had set the lyrics to bold
text using a similar override.
I hope this message will provide a reference in the archives for future
searches.
