Re: Lyrics problem ...

[Mats Bengtsson]

I got the same programming error but still the output looked right
in the simplified example I tried. However, a "better" solution is to
use \lyricsto. For example, you can define a separate Voice context
for the music that the lyrics should follow and define a separate
identifier for the lyrics:

pennsylvania = \context Voice = pennsylvania {
   \override NoteHead #'style = #'cross
   r2_\markup{ shout } f8. f16 f8. f16 f4 f f8. f16 r4
}


pennsylvaniaLyrics = \lyricmode { Penn syl van ia six five thous and }


and redefine your \score block to:

\score {
<<
   \new Staff {
       \set Score.skipBars = ##t
        {
           \clef "bass"
           <<
               \voiceTimeSig
               \voiceTromboneI
               \voiceMarkup
           >>
       }
   }
   \new Lyrics \lyricsto pennsylvania {
       \pennsylvaniaLyrics \pennsylvaniaLyrics
   }
>>
   \layout {
   }
}
