I'm trying to figure out the correct way to have LilyPond, v2.19.53,
generate the attached score, which is for an instrument and a
singer, but the singer doesn't sing all the notes that the
instrumentalist plays. Furthermore, the last thing before the singer
tacet's is a melisma.
My first naive attempt was:
Music = \relative c'' { c4 d e f c d e f r d e f c d e f }
Lyrics = \lyricmode { do re mi fa __ _ _ _ _
\repeat unfold 3 { \skip 1 } sol la ti do }
\score {
\new Staff \Music
\addlyrics \Lyrics
}
The correct way would be
Music = \relative c'' {
c4 d e f\melisma
c d e f\melismaEnd
r d e f
c d e f
}
Lyrics = \lyricmode {
do re mi fa __
_ _ _
sol la ti do
}
\score {
\new Staff \Music
\addlyrics \Lyrics
}
Best, Simon
It may be the correct way, but the drawback seems to be that it
doesn't work. At least on my Mac running OSX 10.11.6 and LilyPond v
2.19.53.
I ran your suggested solution, named SimonAlbrechtsSolution.ly, via
Frescobaldi. I am attaching the LilyPond file, the output pdf, and a
screenshot of the LilyPond log file. You will note in the pdf that
the melisma extender does not stop at the end of measure 2 but
continues right through measure 3. I need it to stop at the end of
measure 2.
May I ask what version of LilyPond you ran your solution on?
