Re: Lyrics questions

[Jacques Menu]

Hello Eluze,


Thanks for the link, that’s most helpful!

It’s my first attempt at producing scores with lyrics: a friend of mine asked 
me to produce a score with 2 stanzas as lyrics, i.e. mixed up with the music, 
and a separate tenor staff in the treble clef, since she usually reads the 
latter, from the attached PNG image.


Regarding the placement of lyrics commands in macros : in the attached file, 
the code:

        % add lyrics for verse 2 in non-repeat part of score
        \new Lyrics = "foo" \lyricsto sopranosLevelOne
                {
                \small
                \verseTwoResto
                }

in macro addLyrics at lines 447-452 doesn’t produce the corresponding lyrics 
for stanza 2 in the score from bar 10 on, whilst uncommenting the same code at 
lines 507-512 does.


Also, commenting out the breaksMusic macro (unused) at lines 59-61 causes lots 
of messages containing:
        warning: Two simultaneous lyric events, junking this one
to be issued, and nearly no lyrics to be produced.


I’m using LP 2.17.20.

Sorry for not having a shorter example yet: I’ve been struggling with that one 
for a while, and I’m not sure the same problems will show up if I start 
removing things.
