Re: can't find voice (to attach \lyricsto)

[Rick Hansen (aka RickH)]

I think you need to specify a \staff around the music parts, then specify the
\lyrics below the closing bracket of each staff.  Here is what I am doing
and the \lyricsto is working fine for me:  (I'm using 3 part polyphony
voices on a single staff, but in your case you should be able to put lyrics
below each separate staff that has a named voice.)  Note in the example
below anything that begis with "\var" are my own variables that are set up
by a separate song-specific .ly \include file.



\score { 
        
        << 
       
        \new Staff \with { 
                voltaOnThisStaff = ##f 
        } 
        { 
                \clef "G_8" 
                \mark \markup{ \hspace #0 \raise #1.5 \varStyle } 
                \varKey 
                \varTime 
                
                << 
                \new Voice="voiceMelody" { \voiceOne \varVoiceMelody
\oneVoice } \\ 
                \new Voice="voiceInner" 
                        {\voiceThree \stemNeutral \varVoiceInner \oneVoice }
\\ 
                \new Voice="voiceBass" 
                        { \voiceTwo \varVoiceBass \oneVoice } 
                >> 
                \oneVoice 
        } 
        
        \new Lyrics \with { 
        } \lyricsto "voiceMelody" \varLyricsOne 
        
        \new Lyrics \with { 
        } \lyricsto "voiceMelody" \varLyricsTwo 
        
        >> 

}
