Hi again,
Given your example:
> measure 1: some notes
> measure 2: text: This is the story of Max and Moritz
> measure 3: some notes
> measure 4: text: Moritz
> measure 5,6: more notes
> measure 7: text AH, how oft we read or hear of Boys we almost stand in
> fear of! For example, take these stories of two youths, named Max and
> Moritz (as stack of lines)
> measure 8-20: many notes
it looks like you simply want to stack the text as markup above a measure-long
rest (with fermatas in all parts, I would assume?). That's definitely a simple
situation, easy to accomplish in Lilypond. Maybe try something like
%%% SNIPPET BEGINS
\version "2.19.80"
\language "english"
musicandtext = {
c'4 d' e' f'
\tweak minimum-length #24 R1\fermataMarkup^\markup \override #'(line-width .
20) \override #'(baseline-skip . 2.3) \wordwrap { This is a very long bit of
dialogue, which will wrap to the length you want. }
}
\score { \musicandtext }
%%% SNIPPET ENDS
Of course, if you’re doing a lot of it, you should make a function which does
all the appropriate things for you. Syntactic sugar is the best kind of sugar.
=)
Hope this helps!
Kieren.
