(Lilypond v2.18.2 under Linux.)
I'm scoring a song which has the form A A B C C. Two verses go to
section A, then there are words for a bridge, then two more verses to
the music of section C. Or to put it graphically
Chords to section A
Notes of section A
Verse 1 words
Verse 2 words
Chords to bridge
Notes of bridge
Words to bridge
Chords to section C
Notes of section C
Verse 3 words
Verse 4 words
I can do section A but I'm struggling with how to make the bridge and
its words appear on the same staff in subsequent bars. It seems to me
that all the stuff to "A A" is simultaneous stuff and should appear in
<< >>, and then the stuff for the bridge is different simultaneous
stuff, and should have its own << >>, and therefore coded this:
\score {
<<
\new ChordNames \chordsVerseOneTwo
\new Staff { \melodyVerseOneTwo }
\addlyrics { \verseOne }
\addlyrics { \verseTwo }
>>
<<
{ \bridge }
\addlyrics { \bridgeWords }
>>
\layout { ... etc
But on the second appearance of "<<" Lily barfs with "syntax error,
unexpected <<".
Of course it's an schoolboy error (that's the kind of mistake I'm making
right now) but I've reviewed the learning manual, especially "Music
expressions explained" and also the snippets without finding the answer.
Can someone help me please?
