Re: 2 stanzas, different voice, how to align

[Ed Faulk]

Okay, I tried what Trevor suggested and it worked fine -- for the three measures where I have two different voices. However, the remaining 12 measures are all the same, that is, there is only one voice.

My first attempt at coding this was to break the two voices apart and then define a "remainder" portion. This resulted in collisions among all the notes after the first three measures. Omitting the remainder section omits the last 12 measures of text for the second verse with this message: warning: LyricText has empty extent and non-empty stencil.

and this is the result:


I can't seem to find a resolution to this. Any ideas?

I have a case where I have three measures that I have to score with two 
voices. When I try to add the lyrics, I can figure out how to align the 
fist verse with the first voice and the second verse with the second 
voice. I've attached a small sample file and a graphic revealing what I get.

The first verse is fine. The second verse, however, lines up under the 
first and that's not what I want. Here I should have the second verse 
aligned with the second voice (the smaller notes).

Any ideas how to go about getting that?

Yes.  You can use\addlyrics to do this, but you need to put each
\addlyrics command immediately after each \new Voice command.
That means rearranging your \score layout somewhat.

But I advise you to look into the alternative way using \new Lyrics
and \lyricsto.  This is far more flexible.  See
