So that is not the problem. A minor issue is that the lyrics for the top staff is broken into separate lines, one for each individual "\new Lyrics". This can certainly be solved by a clever definition of the string for this staff (and maybe every staff). But the main issue is, that at least I have not found any method to put the text below the respective staff, exept for the top staff, despite this would be the normal behaviour according to the manual. And that was my wish by calling for assistance on this mailing list. Here is the new example: \version "2.18.2" % The next line does not belong to the task, but % just to get shorter music lines in the printout. \paper { ragged-right =#t } % Music definitions, mA..mD for the top staff: mA =relative c' { c4 c c c \break } mB =relative c' { d4 d d d \break } mC =relative c' { e4 e e e \break } mD =relative c' { f4 f f f \break } mE =relative c''' { g4 g g g } mF =relative c''' { a4 a a a } mG =relative c''' { b4 b b b } % Lyrics for each part of the staves: tA =lyricmode { A A A A } tB =lyricmode { B B B B } tC =lyricmode { C C C C } tD =lyricmode { D D D D } tE =lyricmode { E E E E } tF =lyricmode { F F F F } tG =lyricmode { G G G G } \score { \new ChoirStaff << { \new Staff =sAB" { << { << \new Voice =vA" { \mA } >> << \new Voice =vB" { \mB } \new Staff =sB" { \new Voice =vE" { \mE } } >> << \new Voice =vC" { \mC } >> << \new Voice =vD" { \mD } \new Staff =sF" << \new Voice =vF" { \mF } >> \new Staff =sG" << \new Voice =vG" { \mG } >> >> } >> } }You must put the Lyrics contexts in parallel with the Staff where you want the lyrics to be aligned.\new Lyrics =lA" \lyricsto "vA" { \tA } \new Lyrics =lB" \lyricsto "vB" { \tB } \new Lyrics =lC" \lyricsto "vC" { \tC } \new Lyrics =lD" \lyricsto "vD" { \tD } \new Lyrics =lE" \lyricsto "vE" { \tE } \new Lyrics =lF" \lyricsto "vF" { \tF } \new Lyrics =lG" \lyricsto "vG" { \tG } >> \layout { indent =0 } }Actually, if you want the A, B, C, D lyrics to be aligned on the same horizontal line, you should probably just make them one lyrics context, associated with one Voice context, but both can have multiple sequential music expressions. \version "2.18.2" % The next line does not belong to the task, but % just to get shorter music lines in the printout. \paper { ragged-right =#t } % Music definitions, mA..mD for the top staff: mA =relative c' { c4 c c c } mB =relative c' { d4 d d d } mC =relative c' { e4 e e e } mD =relative c' { f4 f f f } mE =relative c''' { g4 g g g } mF =relative c''' { a4 a a a } mG =relative c''' { b4 b b b } % Lyrics for each part of the staves: tA =lyricmode { A A A A } tB =lyricmode { B B B B } tC =lyricmode { C C C C } tD =lyricmode { D D D D } tE =lyricmode { E E E E } tF =lyricmode { F F F F } tG =lyricmode { G G G G } \score { << \new ChoirStaff << { \new Staff =sAB" { << { \new Voice =vA" { \mA << \mB \new Staff =sB" { \new Voice =vE" { \mE } } \new Lyrics =IE" \lyricsto "vE"{\tE} >> \mC << \mD \new Staff =sF" { \new Voice =vF" { \mF } } \new Lyrics =lF" \lyricsto "vF" { \tF } \new Staff =sG" { \new Voice =vG" { \mG } } \new Lyrics =lF" \lyricsto "vF" { \tF } >> } } >> } } >> \new Lyrics =lA" \lyricsto "vA" { \tA \tB \tC \tD} >> \layout { indent =0 } } Hope this is helpful, Carl
Hi Carl!
Yes, you are the person with the big understanding. I learned t from your solution, that you can, and in this case must, do things inside open parenthesis. That was what was wrong in my efforts towards the solution. So I took your solution as a base and worked through my example. It all was fine. I was a wee wondering about the extra gap between top staff and the ones below, so I went on and added a couple of measures an staves. And the result is clear: the new staff will always start one step below the extra one to the left, even if there are single measures in the top staff in between. Do you have a smart solution to this too?
When looking at the code I discovered that I had forgotten all the \lyricsto's, but it worked fine never the less. Well, completion and a new try, but what!? Now the measure 3, after the double staves, was empty, and measure 4 was distorted. It was clear that one could not use \lyricsto if measures following the doubled staves. I checked also with the expanded system described above, and the conclusion was clear. The measures direct after a multi-staff part was distorted. And ALL the \lyricsto has to be removed for a good result.
It very much looked like a bug, and I began to think of how to formulate it. But so, I got a thought, to test also in another version of LilyPond. I am normally running in the stable version 2.18.2. So a new session, now in 2.19.20, and the error was gone. The bug is already fixed, and the code corrected. From this I assume, that you too are running some 2.19.xx-version, since you had not discovered this error.
Well, I am glad that you showed me, that LilyPond is a robust programme, and it understands these structures without being confused. And also that my own understanding is increased a bit. If you put breaks before the extra staves it works perfect, and no problem with the gaps as seen here.
For completeness I include my own final code. I does not deviate much from yours, mostly just a couple of not necessary parenthesis.
Thank you again.
