Hi all,
I run into a problem setting music for choir. I searched all archives, all wiki pages but nothing turned up.
When you are setting music for choir, you sometimes have a first part that is for one voice only and repeated a few times (due to multiple verses).
After that the verse is repeated, but this time with an extra voice written to it.
The setting of the music is not a problem, but when you are trying to add lyrics there occurs something strange.
The song in question is "We wish you a merry Christmas". I wrote a simple second voice to the last verse.
Setting the music in lilypond was not difficult, so was setting the lyrics for the first three verses.
I used a \new Staff to set those first three verses.
To set the last verse, I used a new Choirstaff. Inside this Choirstaff I define two new staves.
Because every voice in every staff has its own lyrics, I define the lyrics in each staff.
What happens is this: If you use the code as showed below, a new staff is created without a key signature and the lyrics are aligned correctly, namely directly below the notes to which the lyrics belong to.
If you include the key signature ( \key g \major ) (like in the second staff definition) the lyrics are misplaced, namely under the second staff
I included both versions, namely with key signature definition and without. I include both the .ly files.
You can also find all files at http://www2.hku.nl/~maurits/lilypond/
The files with lyricsgoed are with the lyrics aligned correctly.
The files with lyricsverkeerd are with the key signature and with the misplaced lyrics.
I use Lilypond 2.2.5 for Mac OS X and PC and both render the same kind of problem.
Anyone recognize this problem ??
greets
Maurits Lamers
