Hi, I am using Lilypond 2.7.27 for Windows 98 and I'm trying to compile a
choral work. Here is an simple file of my problem:
\version "2.7.27"
<< \new Staff \context Voice = "melody" \relative c' {
<< \context Voice = other { \voiceOne g a b4 }
\context Voice = melody { \voiceTwo g4 a b } >> \oneVoice c e e e2 <<
\context Voice = other
{ \voiceOne d d c } \context Voice = melody { \voiceTwo d d c } >> \oneVoice
\bar ".|." }
\new Lyrics \lyricsto "melody" \new Lyrics { This is the first line of text
for the music }
\new Lyrics \lyricsto "other" \new Lyrics { This is the second line text }
>>
Here, the first stanza "melody" covers the entire music. For the second
stanza "other", the lyrics only appear at certain points of the music. In
the example, it appears in bar 1 and 3. I tried compiling the file but as
the output shows, the second stanza does not appear in the 3rd bar. Why is
this?
If I'm not mistaken there is a skip function that allows us to skip lyrics
over notes but if the gap is several lines of music, that is not practical.
I cannot use another \new Lyric as there would appear to be a gap between
the stanzas. Is there a way to make the second stanza "other" appear at bar
3?
Thank you.
