RE: Divisi Vocals

Looking at the 2.12.3 documentation this did not seem to be appreciably different...
 
Anyway, I tooled a bit in my old 2.6.5 world and got a method to work using a combination of split voices in my variable for the melody, and set associated voice in the lyrics.  It was probably a consequence of the sylable placement, but part of the split voice had to be the same notes in each part - for that I had use hideNotes and spacers to get the note stems right...
 
Yes, a bit of tweaking, but worth it as I 1) learned more (played a bit with part combining while hacking), and got things working into my code style well.  Now I have to create a PDF only version using DS and Coda for the piece, but after a while I've come to accept that I generally end up with 2 versions when I have a vocal tune...
 
Thanks for the prodding.  I'll report when I try to see if this hack works in 12.2.3!

There are a number of examples of vocal music on the LSR - if you search for template you'll find a few. I think that should get you started.

Subject: Divisi Vocals

I have tried to look up examples of how to have a divisi vocal part, and all the examples seem to have the music definitions in the score block.  In fact, looking at the 2.12 documentation I can't find anything about it.  Looking through the archives I saw something about a potential feature for hiding a complete staff...is that available in 2.12?
 
My code style is to create most of my music definitions in variables, and put the various fragments together in larger parts - eventually my score blaock look something like this (just an example)
 
\score
{
<<
 \new PianoStaff
 <<
  \new Staff {\rh}
  \new Staff {\lh}
 >>
>>
 \layout {\context {}}
}
 
I'd like to be able to keep this code style - it's been really helpful and "clean".  Any pointers to archives and documentation would be appreciated.  Thanks!
