Re: trying to attach lyrics to global variable in /score

[Ryan Michael]

Thank you for the reminder, so he is a complete, however abridged version of my code: 

viola = \new Voice \relative c' {

c1 c1 c1

}

recorder = \new Voice \relative c' {

c1 c1 c1

}

verseOne = \lyricmode {

  m -- -- -- 

}

\score {

  \new StaffGroup <<

   

   \new Staff <<

  \new Voice \global

  \new Voice = "recorder" \recorder

>>

\new Lyrics \lyricsto "recorder" \verseOne

  

 

    \new Staff << \global \viola >>

  >>

  \layout { }

  \midi { }

}

And I am still getting the same error: 

cannot find Voice `recorder'

Hello Ryan,

please always reply on-list. Others may find the solution helpful as well.
Also, please send complete compilable examples (with a version statement), else it’s difficult to figure out the problem.
That said: The following code works for me.

%%%%%%%%%%
\version "2.18.2"
global = { s1 }
recorder = { c''1 }
verseOne = \lyricmode { test }
\score {
  \new StaffGroup <<

    \new Staff <<
      \new Voice \global
      \new Voice = "recorder" \recorder
    >>
    \new Lyrics \lyricsto "recorder" \verseOne
  >>

  \layout { }
  \midi { }
}
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

It’s more logical IMO to keep the Lyrics outside the Staff, but both work.

HTH, Simon

Hallo Simon,
So I have tried to use one of your solutions. specificalyl this one:

\score {
  \new StaffGroup <<
   \new Staff <<
  \new Voice \global
  \new Voice = "recorder" \recorder
\new Lyrics \lyricsto "recorder" \verseOne
>>



    \new Staff << \global \viola >>
  >>

  \layout { }
  \midi { }
}


And I still get this error:

*cannot find Voice `recorder'*

        I have the following lilypond code:

              \verseOne

    \lyricsto "recorder" means: associate these lyrics with the voice
    named "recorder". You can create a voice with a name by using \new
    Voice = "recorder" { … some music … }. The question now is: should
    \global be in the same voice like \recorder? If yes,

    <<
      \new Staff \new Voice = "recorder" << \global \recorder >>
      \new Lyrics \lyricsto "recorder" \verseOne
    >>

    – if no, the same with:
    \new Staff <<
      \new Voice \global
      \new Voice = "recorder" \recorder
    >>
