Re: creating pop/vocal lead sheets without the melody line

[Klaus Blum]

Hi Ryan, 

you might find an advantage if you already have defined a melody anyway. You
can then replace the "normal" voice by a NullVoice which doesn't show up in
the score. By that, you can re-use a "\lyricsto"-assignment already made.
But LilyPond still treats the material as a musical score. For example, line
breaks only happen between two bars. You can show the barlines in the lyrics
if you want to. 

But usually, for mere text sheets this spacing is not wanted. You can
therefore simplify things by not caring about the "real" rhythm at all - see
attached files. Maybe this would be a point to start...

Cheers,
