Hello All! I'm new to the list, so be gentle with me please!
Can anyone tell me why the attached .ly file won't work - it seems such a simple piece of music. It produces the output shown in the attached .png file instead of what I want - which is a system of four staves with identical words underneath each staff. As you can see there is something weird going on with the rhythm in bar 2 and the lyrics are just doing their own thing! Also why did I have to put in the \RemoveEmptyStaffContext command in the \paper block to get get rid of a spurious extra staff that appeared at the top of the page? I wouldn't have thought so simple a piece would require this. I'm confused because I have previously managed to get far more complex pieces to work properly! BTW I'm using v2.0.0 of Lily from PlanetCCRMA. Thanx in advance, Andrew
%Good Morning!
