Re: Lyric separator

[Benjamin Bloomfield]

My apologies.  I am working with someone else on this, and I thought that was what he wanted, but after he saw this, it became clear that what he actually wanted was for these lines to only be visible at the beginning of each system, just above/below the first word or so.  You can see his example image here.

Does anyone have any insights or ideas into how I might accomplish this?

Thanks,

Benjamin Bloomfield

There are probably many ways, but here's something I thought of:

\version "2.16.2"

someMusic = \repeat "unfold" 100 c'4

verseI = \lyricmode {
  \repeat "unfold" 100 a
}

verseII = \lyricmode {
  \repeat "unfold" 100 b
}

\layout {
  \context {
    \RhythmicStaff
    \name "Line"
    \remove "Bar_engraver"
    \remove "Time_signature_engraver"
  }
  \context {
    \Score
    \accepts Line
    \remove "System_start_delimiter_engraver"
  }
}

\score {
  <<
    \new Staff \someMusic
    \new Lyrics \verseI
    \new Line \repeat "unfold" 100 s4
    \new Lyrics \verseII
  >>
}

You'll have to tweak some of the properties of the Line context in order to get it to behave "perfectly".

Hope this helps!
