Dear All, \version "2.10.33" In this reduction of Rule Britannia, I would like to start verse two at bar 26. Bars 30 and 32 have extra lines of lyrics, where the parts have different numbers of notes,
by adding words below the bass stave and by splitting the line of words into two with a brace before and after the split.
Do I have to split the notes into different segments in order to do this or use \markup?
Also, I cannot understand why verses one and three are the wrong way round.
Thank you for your attention. % Created on Tue Oct 14 22:05:49 BST 2008 \version "2.10.33"
