Subject: SATB polyphonic lyrics problems
I am brand new to Lilypond. I have tried and tried to figure out
how to code SATB four staves of polyphony with different notes,
durations and lyrics, but while I am close, some of the lyrics fall
to the very bottom of the score and will not stick to the staff
that I want them to.
Sorry if the example is long, but I must learn :
1) how to code what I want
2) where to put the commands properly
The lyrics in CAPITALS are for voice two (i.e., soprano 2, alto 2 )
They are aligned correctly, meaning they are directly under the
proper notes, but not attached to the correct staff.
If someone could correct my code in CAPITALS so I can see exactly
what you have done, I will be able to engrave my music.
Could you attach a text-only version of your score, please?
I'm not he, but here it is.
