Hi,
Is there a mechanism for lyrics similar to \quoteDuring? I naively tried
\version "2.16.0"
soprano = \relative c'' { a2 b4 c d e f g }
alto = \relative c' { e4 f2 g4 a b c d }
sopranoText = \lyricmode { one two three four five six seven eight }
altoText = \lyricmode { en to tre fire fem seks syv otte }
\addQuote "qsoprano" { \soprano }
\addQuote "qalto" { \alto }
mixture = {
\quoteDuring "qsoprano" { s1 }
\quoteDuring "qalto" { s1 }
}
\addQuote "tsoprano" { \sopranoText }
\addQuote "talto" { \altoText }
mixText = {
\quoteDuring "tsoprano" { s1 }
\quoteDuring "talto" { s1 }
}
\score { <<
\new Staff {
\new Voice = "soprano" { \soprano }
}
\new Lyrics \lyricsto "soprano" { \sopranoText }
\new Staff {
\new Voice = "alto" { \alto }
}
\new Lyrics \lyricsto "alto" { \altoText }
\new Staff {
\new Voice = "mix" { \mixture }
}
\new Lyrics \lyricsto "mix" { \mixText }
}
If the magic had gone my way, the bottom lyrics had read
one two three fire fem seks syv
I attach a scan of what I got instead.
My motivation is that I have a piece for six (human) voices all typed and
ready but now need to rearrange it for five voices. I have successfully
made extensive use of \quoteDuring for the notes. The lyrics consist of
fa -- la -- lah's and ting -- e -- lings rather than real words, so they
need to follow the part they came from, so a \quoteDuring mechanism would
save me a lot of error prone copy-and-paste.
Regards,
Mogens
