Re: Markup in stanza

[Mats Bengtsson]

It seems that you have found some bugs. According to the program
reference, the stanza property can be set to a markup, but there
are two problems here.

1. The following gives a syntax error:
\version 2.5.30
<<
\context Voice = mel \relative c'' { r4 r4 c4 c4 }
\lyricsto  mel \new Lyrics \lyricmode{
  \set stanza = \markup{ "1." \dynamic "mp" }
  \skip 2
  Foo8
}
>>

2. Trying to work around this syntax limitation, I came up with
  the following example which still does not produce any stanza.
  Replacing the \markup with a string works well:
\version 2.5.30
<<
\context Voice = mel \relative c'' { r4 r4 c4 c4 }
\lyricsto  mel \new Lyrics %\with {stanza = \markup{ "1." \dynamic mp }}
\lyricmode{
  \set stanza = \markup{ "1." \dynamic "mp" }
  \skip 2
  Foo8
}
>>
