Hi Dominic,

Thanks, this realy helps, one thing is not yet solves though: The text in the verses do not tek notice of the "volta", so the text in verse two runs through under volta 1. It should skip volta1 and go straight to volta 2.

Thanks! Lara

Hi Lara,

the quick'n'dirty solution (I still use) is the following:

\version "2.11.55"

refrain = \lyricmode {
   \set stanza = "Refr. "
   bla blu blubb blubb
}

verseOne = \lyricmode {
   \set stanza = "1. "
   one two three four five
}

verseTwo = \lyricmode {
   \set stanza = "2. "
   six se -- ven eight nine
}

refrainTwo = \lyricmode {
   blubb bla dub.
}

refrSkip = \repeat unfold 4 { \skip 1 }

\score {
   <<
   \relative c' {
       c4 d e f g a c d e f g a
   }
   >>
   \addlyrics { \refrain \verseOne \refrainTwo }
   \addlyrics { \refrSkip \verseTwo }
}

The better solution would be to use different context names for the
different parts and address them with \lyricsto.

Dominic
