Re: frets and lyrics

[paul bedaride]

I would be something like this (but this doesn't work)

\version "2.16.2"
\include "predefined-ukulele-fretboards.ly"

theChords = \chordmode {
g g g g g
}

verseI = \lyricmode {
  \set stanza = #"1."
  This is the first verse
}

\score {
<<
    \context ChordNames { \theChords }
    \context FretBoards = "testVoice" {
      \set Staff.    stringTunings = #ukulele-tuning
      \theChords
    }
    \new Lyrics = "lyricsI" {
      \lyricsto "testVoice" \verseI
    }
>>
\layout { }
}

Nice ASCII tab.  Which instrument/tuning?

Please, don't make such claims without including the code corresponding
to it.  It just annoys people and they have no chance of pointing out
your mistake.

Here is one example:
