Subject: Volta repeat with different
lyrics places all words on lower staff
Hi everyone, I’m
using ver 2.15.38 (since the 2.16 release isn’t out), and being the first time
I’ve used an unstable build I don’t know if this is a bug, since there are no
examples on the website that directly correspond.
I’m setting a piece for three
voices with sections that repeat for the purpose of the next verse. So what I
want to have happen is (view with a monospace font):
Top voice - - - - - - - |: - -
- - - - - - - :|
Lyrics, blah blah blah First verse
lyrics
Second verse lyrics
Middle voice - - - - - |:
- - - - - - - - - :|
Lyrics, blah blah
blah
First verse lyrics
Second verse lyrics
Bottom voice - - - - - |:
- - - - - - - - - :|
Lyrics, blah blah blah First verse
lyrics
Second verse lyrics
Top voice - - - - - - - |: - -
- - - - - - - :|
Lyrics, blah blah blah First verse
lyrics
Middle voice - - - - - |:
- - - - - - - - - :|
Lyrics, blah blah
blah
First verse lyrics
Bottom voice - - - - - |:
- - - - - - - - - :|
Lyrics, blah blah blah First verse
lyrics
Second verse lyrics
Second verse lyrics
I have worked on this problem
for days now, and I have no idea if I’m doing something wrong or if this is a
real bug. I could not find any examples that dealt with volta repeats of
different text with more than a single voice. Please, please
help!
Below is a
small example with actual code (25 lines due to formatting). Un-comment the
commented lines to see the issue.
Thanks in
advance for any assistance!
