Re: Overshooting melisma in multi-stanza music, Lilypond 2.24.0

[Valentin Petzel]

Hello Eirik,

this behaviour is caused by defining new Lyrics contexts in Lyrics contexts as 
it seems. I’ve also never seen someone use such notation before.

Rather I’d do different Voices for different Lyrics to align to:

\version "2.24.0"

global = {
\key f \major
\time 4/4
}

sopranoVoice = \relative c'' {
  \new Voice = "chorus" {
  \global
  
  % Music follows here.
  \repeat volta 3 {
    \bar ".|:" c4 4 4 4 |
    \alternative{
      \volta 1,2
      { d4 4 4 4|
        \new Voice = "stanza" {
          g,4 4 4 4 |
          c,4 e g bes16~ 16~ 16~ 16|
        }
      }
      \volta 3
      { e4 4 4 8 8|}
      }%end alternatives
    }% end repeats
  }% endVoice
} %end music


verseOneSopranoVoice = <<
  \new Lyrics \lyricsto "chorus" {
    \set stanza = "Chorus:"
    % Lyrics follow here.
    Chorus! is my desire, also part of  \set associatedVoice = "stanza" 
chorus!

    \set stanza = "1."
    Now I sing my be -- au -- ti -- \set associatedVoice = "chorus" ful __
    
    and the song is over.
  }
  \new Lyrics \lyricsto "stanza"
  {
    \set stanza = "2." Oh how wonder -- ful is this happy song! __
  }
  \new Lyrics \lyricsto "stanza"
  {
    \set stanza = "3." Oh yes, there! I see over there is __
  }
>>

voiceParts = \new ChoirStaff <<
  \new Staff { \sopranoVoice }
  \verseOneSopranoVoice
>>

\score {
  <<
    \voiceParts
  >>
  \layout { }
}


Cheers,
Valentin
