Hello all, I’m trying to develop a Lilypond lyrics+chords [only] framework, and am trying to understand the "cleanest" possible starting point.
The final goal: Given a set of lyrics (either with “inline” durations, or durations contained in a melody variable) and a set of chords (with durations), Lilypond should automatically output a lyric+chord sheet similar to what can be seen in the attached screenshot. Obviously, there needs to be *some* timing coordination between the main contexts (Lyrics, ChordNames, and possibly NullVoice for the a melody). But notespacing should be totally ignored, skips and rests (of all durations) should be skipped completely, etc. My two questions to start: 1. What engravers *must* be in the two primary/visible contexts (let’s call them LyricSheetLyrics and LyricSheetChords)? 2. What engravers will definitely get in the way, and therefore must *not* be in the two primary/visible contexts? Thanks, Kieren. ________________________________ Kieren MacMillan, composer ‣ website: www.kierenmacmillan.info ‣ email: i...@kierenmacmillan.info _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
