Hi Fulko, [snip] >At the moment I want to set a piece of music that has four melody >lines on two beams (treble and bass). The first melody (also on top), >is also the melody of the lyrics. I want the lyrics between the two >beams.
You probably mean "staves" not "beams". >The problem I have is that the placement of the lyrics reacts to >melody One and Two on the treble-beam. I want the lyrics only react on >melody One. Can that be done? The answer is the command \addlyrics. This command takes 2 args, a Voice context and a Lyrics context and aligns the Lyrics context with the Voice context. I explained this today in my message "Re: general questions" (28.02.2003 - 10:27:01) and gave an example. I would like to ask you to look at that example, if you want it complete >How do I make TextA follow melodyA? \addlyrics \context Voice = soprano {\voiceOne \sopranoVoice} \context Lyrics = bottom \sopranoLyrics Note "bottom" as the keyword to typeset the lyric beneath the staff. >Is it possible to do the same with a TextB and melodyB? analogous. >Is it possible to set (parts) of the lyrics in boldface? never tried. ###ATTENTION: left comments in code! [ all actual melodies and lyrics ] \score { \context GrandStaff \notes %you'd probably want a ChoirStaff here. < \simultaneous { %\spurious ;-) \addlyrics %wrongly placed, goes directly before voice! Remove here. \context Staff =upper < \clef treble %\addlyrics \context Voice=one {\voiceOne \melodyA} %\context Lyrics=TextA \textA \context Voice=two {\voiceTwo \melodyB} > \context Lyrics=TextA %remove < %all \textA %this > %stuff \context Staff =lower < \clef bass \context Voice=three {\voiceOne \melodyC} \context Voice=four {\voiceTwo \melodyD} > } > } >Thank a lot, You're welcome.
