\version "2.14.2" \include "english.ly" \include "gregorian.ly" \layout { \context{ %\Score \override SpacingSpanner #'packed-spacing = ##f } \context{ \Lyrics \override LyricHyphen #'minimum-distance = #2.2 \override LyricSpace #'minimum-distance = #0.8 } } %% To be adjusted: \paper { left-margin = 25 right-margin = 20 indent = 30 %% short-indent = -10 } \header { title = "Menaion ~ 08 September" subtitle = "Toparion for the Nativity of the All-holy Theotokos and Ever-Virgin Mary" poet = "Tone 4" composer = "Abbreviated ''Greek'' Chant" footer = "" } global = { \key g \major \override Staff.NoteHead #'style = #'altdefault \override Staff.TimeSignature #'stencil = ##f %\override Staff.BarLine #'stencil = ##f \set Score.defaultBarType = "empty" \bar "|." } move = { \bar "" \break } soprano = \relative c'' { \global % Music follows here. g4 g g g g g b2(a) g \bar "'" g4 g g a a a g a2. a4 g1 \bar "|" } alto = \relative c' { \global % Music follows here. d4 d d d d d d1 e2 \bar "'" e4 e e e e e e fs2. fs4 d1 \bar "|" } tenor = \relative c' { \global % Music follows here. b4 b b b b b d1 b2 \bar "'" b4 b b c c c b c2. c4 b1 \bar "|" } bass = \relative c' { \global % Music follows here. g4 g g g g g g2(fs) e \bar "'" e4 e e a a a e d2. d4 g1 \bar "|" } verse = \lyricmode { % Lyrics follow here.
