Re: Newbie question: Brief alternative lyrics-and-notes during repeat

[Jonathan Kulp]

Welcome to Lilypond, Jeff. :)

What you're trying to do I would approach with more than one set of 
lyrics, coded as verseOne, verseTwo, etc., and with the voices separated 
into variables that can be assembled in a separate \score block.  I've 
taken your code and made an example of how I would approach it, and it 
looks very similar to the top example on your website.  The only thing 
that doesn't look quite right is the lyric extender line, so you might 
check into this in the Notation Reference and/or Learning Manual.

code attached.

HTH,

Jon
