Re: Adding a four-part refrain after a melody piece?

[James E. Bailey]

There are many ways to do this. I usually have five musical parts for this kind of thing. one for the melody, then SATB separated out into their own variables with a manual \break between the two. for example:

\version "2.12.2"

\layout {\context {\RemoveEmptyStaffContext  \override VerticalAxisGroup #'remove-first = ##t } }

global = { s1*6 \break s1*4 \bar "|." }

melody = { \repeat unfold 24 {c'4} }

Soprano = { R1*6 \repeat unfold 16 {c''4}}

Alto = { R1*6 \repeat unfold 16 {e'4}}

Tenor = {R1*6 \repeat unfold 16 {g4}}

Bass = { R1*6 \repeat unfold 16 {c4}}

\score {

   <<

      \new Staff << \melody \global >>

      \new ChoirStaff <<

         \new Staff << \global << \new Voice = Soprano { \voiceOne \Soprano} \new Voice = Alto{ \voiceTwo \Alto }>> >>

         \new Staff << \clef bass \global << \new Voice = Tenor { \voiceOne \Tenor } \new Voice = Bass {\voiceTwo \Bass } >> >>

      >>

   >>

}

I have a setting of O Come, O Come Emmanuel that I want to make the refrain in four-part harmony, but leave the rest of the hymn in melody. Right now I'm "cheating" by putting the Refrain as the last part of the first verse.

A copy of the file is here: http://schnecke.bombcar.com/random/ocomeocomeemmanuel.ly

What would I do to make the refrain SATB? I don't want to make the whole piece 4 part.

Thanks!
