Hi Ruud, hi all,
In fact I derived my code from the examples given in the 2.2 documentation...
I don't understand why it cannot be done in this way. I think it completely logical this way.
Besides that, I have been trying to put the declaration of the lyric context outside the staff context, but if I use \lyricsto, it just won't see the Voice contexts I declared.
By the way, I find it very difficult to get a grip on the scripting concept of lilypond.
The documentation comes in two flavors, namely very basic or very technical.
I think it may be a nice idea to create a more clear scripting guide, because
how to work with the different types of context is unclear to me.
Since I am a programmer myself, I normally expect myself to be able to understand the scripting concept
by reading the documentation and writing code in it.
From the beginning I have been confused by the documentation. I just can't get a grip on how and what a context is.
The script seems object-oriented, but it doesn't work like object-oriented code.
To me, it is completely unclear why I have to define lyrics outside of a Staff context, because in print it is part of a staff.
So I expect it to be part of the staff context.
It may be a TeX issue, but I think it strange to let that influence the logical structure of the script.
Maybe someone can enlighten me :)
greets
Maurits

Hello Maurits,
I recognized the problem and I knew it had to do with the way you define
your staffs and your lyrics. So, I rearranged it a little bit and that
works.
The way I read the documentation, the lyrics should be
created outside the staff context. and you defined, as far as I could see
it,
a Voice context and a lyrics context in a Voice; I'am amazed it worked
anyway in the original situation
Have fun! Ruud van Silfhout

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 ??
