help needed: how to align lyrics with melody

[Ytsen Kooistra]

Hello!

 

I'm trying to  align my lyrics to a melody, but I can't find out how. Here is an example where I'm trying to put a syllable on each 8-th note of a 6/8 piece; but it doesn't work... I'm running the latest version on MAc OS X. I would like to be able to put in the length of a syllable of the text... can somebody please help me out?

 

Thanks for your help in advance!

 

Kind regards,

 

Ytsen.

 

 

Here's my sample file:

 

    \version "2.6.0"
    melody = \relative c' {
       \clef treble
       \key c \major
       \time 6/8

       c8 [c c] d [d d]
}

    text = \lyricmode {
               Tra8 la la di di di
    }

    harmonies = \chordmode {
       c4. f
}

    \score {

       <<
          \context ChordNames {
             \set chordChanges = ##t
             \harmonies
          }
       \context Voice = one {
          \autoBeamOff
          \melody
       }
               \lyricsto "one" \new Lyrics \text
       >>
       \layout {}
}
