Re: Volta repeat with different lyrics places all words on lower staff

[Colin Jesse Kinlund]

Thank you so much for the responses! Trevor’s solution was successful (using alignBelowContext).

I feel like I scoured the manuals for this, and saw nothing of using it for this purpose — A.4.3 SATB with aligned contexts doesn’t really demonstrate why you’d want to use that construct over the example in A.4.1.

I’ll gladly write an multi-voice example to add to the documentation, if it doesn’t actually exist.

Thanks again!

Hi Colin

 

Sorry to top-post.

 

The quick solution is to name the first Lyrics context something like VerseOne like this:

 

  \new Lyrics = "VerseOne" \lyricsto "melody"

 

and specify that the second Lyrics context is positioned immediately beneath it with

 

    \new Lyrics \with { alignBelowContext = "VerseOne" }

leaving all the other lines unchanged.
