Hello list,
I am having trouble setting lyrics to a choral part that divides itself for a few bars only. Here is an excerpt: #(ly:set-option 'old-relative) \version "2.4.0" \score { << \context Voice = "T" { \set Staff.instrument = "T." \set Staff.instr = "T." \key d \minor \clef "G_8" \partial 4 \relative c' { a4| a2. a4 | g bes a a8 g| f g f e d4 f| a f c'4. bes8| a4 bes a f | f e f8. g16 a4|a8 g f g a f a4|a a g r| r8 e' c g g4 e16 f g8| fis4 fis g g|a g fis g | g fis g8. a16 bes4|r8 e, a4. f8 bes4~| bes8 g c4. a8 c4| bes4. a8 g4. f8| e4 f g g |f d8 e f e f4| e4. e8 f4 f| g c c4. a8| bes4. a8 g4. f8| bes4 a bes8 a g4|f1| << { a4-"Solo" g8 f e f g a| g f e d cis4 a'|a8 bes a g f a d4~| d d c4. c8| f4 e f d|c bes a8. bes16 c4| } \\ { f,4 e8 d cis d e16 d cis8| d4 bes' a r4|f8 g f e f2~ f4 f g4. g8| a4 bes c f,| a g f8. g16 a4 } >> a8 g f g a4. a8 << { c4 c c r} \\ {a a g r} >> r4. g8 g4 g | fis g8 fis d4 << { r8-"Solo" c'8| d a bes g a d, g4|g16 a bes8 a8 g g4 r} \\ { bes|a g fis g| g fis g8. a16 bes4} >> r8 e a4. f8 bes4~| bes8 g c4. a8 c4| bes4. a8 g4. f8 <<{g4 a bes a}\\{g16 f e8 f4 f g}>> f4 d8 e f e f d|e4. e8 f4. bes8|g4 c c4. f,8|bes4. a8 g4. f8 g16 f e8 f4 <<{bes a}\\{g g}>>| f1 } } \new Lyrics \lyricsto "T" { If mu- sic food of love, sing "" on, "" "" "" "" sing on, sing on, till I am fil'd, am fill'd with joy.

Now, the manual told me how to use << >> in order to divide a part temporarily, but how do I associate lyrics with either of the divided parts? As you see, the text simply skips the divided section: `Pleasures invade' should coincide with the Solo in bar 23, but it is only set under bar 29. -- Kilian Foth Phone +49 40 42883-2518 AB NATS, FB Informatik Fax +49 40 42883-2515 Universität Hamburg Vogt-Kölln-Str. 30 22527 Hamburg _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
