It depends on how long the section that's the same is. If it's long, I find the simplest way is to just split the tune where you need different numbers of words, and then put it together in the score section. Like: wordsA = \lyrics{these words are the same for all parts.} wordsB = \lyrics {and these are for the soprano.} wordsC = \lyrics { and these are just for the alto.} notesAsop = \notes {soprano notes that go with wordsA} notesAalt = \notes {alto notes that go with wordsA} notesB = \notes {notes that go with wordsB} notesC = \notes{ notes that go with wordsC} \score = {<\addlyrics{\notesAsop \wordsA} \notesAalt> <\addlyrics{\notesB \wordsB} \addlyrics{\notesC =wordsC} > } If you have lots of short little sections where the words differ or are the same, Jan's suggestion is probably better. -- Laura (mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] , http://www.laymusic.org/ ) (617) 661-8097 fax: (801) 365-6574 233 Broadway, Cambridge, MA 02139 _______________________________________________ Lilypond-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
