Re: Changing position of Lyrics

[Phil Holmes]

I would suggest using \skip where the voice has the same lyrics as the other parts - so the soprano lyrics will start with a number of \skip entries and then switch to the words.  If you need to save time typing, you can use

 

\repeat unfold 2 { \skip1 }

 

and change the 2 to whatever number of skips you want.

Subject: Changing position of Lyrics

HI: I wonder if someone could help me with this.

All the examples I see in the documentation refers to Lyrics either above or below the staves. There are SATB pieces where for example the first part consists only of Soprano, then after a few measures the Alto comes in,then all four parts etc.  When there is only the soprano, the lyrics are between the two staves, but the moment all four parts come in the soprano lyrics goes above the top staff . I am having a diffcult time trying to change the position of the Lyrics ( I am using variables for lyrics) Could somebody suggest how to change the position of Lyrics at will?

Thank you.
