Hello all,
I’m trying to develop a Lilypond lyrics+chords [only] framework, and am trying
to understand the "cleanest" possible starting point.
The final goal: Given a set of lyrics (either with “inline” durations, or
durations contained in a melody variable) and a set of chords (with durations),
Lilypond should automatically output a lyric+chord sheet similar to what can be
seen in the attached screenshot.
Obviously, there needs to be *some* timing coordination between the main
contexts (Lyrics, ChordNames, and possibly NullVoice for the a melody). But
notespacing should be totally ignored, skips and rests (of all durations)
should be skipped completely, etc.
My two questions to start:
1. What engravers *must* be in the two primary/visible contexts (let’s call
them LyricSheetLyrics and LyricSheetChords)?
2. What engravers will definitely get in the way, and therefore must *not* be
in the two primary/visible contexts?
Thanks,
Kieren.
