Thanks for this, it helps. I'm struggling to understand this program
with very little background, and it is like spelunking without a
headlamp. Consequently, I fear asking questions that are not worth answering.
I thought I could get the entire "text" of the lyric entered as a single
variable, to keep my \score simple. Is it typical to break up a lyric
into several variables, and then reassemble them all in the \score block?
Part of my confusion stems from uncertainty regarding large form---how
to break things into variables and reassemble them in \score. I have no
sense of what the best practices are ... and, I admit, I have
not read the entire manual.
best,
steven arntson
