[I tried resarching this topic on the list archive but most related
topics are too extensive for me to sort out.]
In a choral piece, I have a part that tempoarily divides into (single-
line) polyphony. How do I handle lyrics at this point?
Charles
The format of the score is outlined below:
\version "2.10.33"
\header {...}
}
global = {
\key a \minor
\time 4/4
}
sopranonotes = \relative c' {...}
sopranowords = \lyricmode {...}
altonotes = \relative c' {...}
altowords = \lyricmode {...}
tenornotes = \relative c' {...}
tenorwords = \lyricmode {...}
bassnotes = \relative c' {...}
basswords = \lyricmode {...}
\score{
\context ChoirStaff
<<
\context Staff = soprano <<
\context Voice = sop { << \global \sopranonotes >> }
\lyricsto "sop" \new Lyrics \sopranowords
>>
\context Staff = alto <<
\context Voice = alt { << \global \altonotes >> }
\lyricsto "alt" \new Lyrics \altowords
>>
\context Staff = tenor <<
\context Voice = ten { << \global \tenornotes >> }
\lyricsto "ten" \new Lyrics \tenorwords
>>
\context Staff = bass <<
\context Voice = bas { << \global \bassnotes >> }
\lyricsto "bas" \new Lyrics \basswords
>>
>>
\layout {
\context {
% a little smaller so lyrics can be closer to the staff.
\Staff
\override VerticalAxisGroup #'minimum-Y-extent = #'(-3 . 3)
}
}
}
