I tried replacing the long sequence of "\skip 1" lines with both:
\skip 1*4 And \skip 1*24 1*4 to skip 4 bars, and 1*24 because I've got 24 \skip lines. I don't understand the results. Both 1*4 and 1*24 ended up with the lyric (2. The) printed under the 4th note (note, not bar) in the piece. The existing \skip 1 lines put that lyric under the first note of bar 5, which is what I want. I've updated to version 2.4.2 under cygwin (Thanks to Bertalan Fodor). - James -----Original Message----- From: Mats Bengtsson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, November 11, 2004 12:52 AM To: James Moore Cc: 'Jefferson dos Santos Felix'; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Creating hymns You can use \skip 1*30 to skip 30 bars. Regarding the rests, the intention is that you should be able to use the \partcombine feature. There was a recent discussion on using \partcombine for choir scores on the mailing list.
