Re: Using lyrics in a markup

[Jan-Peter Voigt]

Hello again,

so you would have to check (pseudo-scheme):
...
(if (and (string? x)(string=? x 
"<someIndicatorStringNooneWouldEverUseInARealLyric>"))
        (<introduceNewLine> ...))
...

and this would probably be done in the (reduce-hyphens text)-method/function.

If this works one could define a variable with the lyrics including the 
newlines. Then use it filtered with \lyricsto and markedup with \verse.

Best regards,
Jan-Peter.
