I am unsure how exactly to do this, so asking. I'm writing an SATB arrangement (easy squeezy) in SA-TB two staff format
%% CODE \new ChoirStaff << \new Staff \new Voice = "soprano" { S } \new Voice = "alto" { A } >> \new Lyrics \lyricsto "soprano" \verseOne \new Lyrics \lyricsto "soprano" \verseTwo \new Lyrics \lyricsto "soprano" \verseThree \new Lyrics \lyricsto "soprano" \verseFour << \new Staff \new Voice = "tenor" { T } \new Voice = "bass" { B } >> >> %% CODE Works fine (this structure is from Frescobaldi's Wizard). Now, however, I need to add supplemental lyrics. There are sections where the soprano sings a held note and the three lower voices sing a Hallelujah or some other text. There is a section where the bass sings a lead in and then the upper three voices sing a Hallelujah. A setting like this: https://hymnary.org/media/fetch/111354 The LP structure above does not allow for this type of lyric setting. The question is, then, how to add them without breaking the structure? I thought to add a \new Lyrics \lyricsto "alto" \versealto but LP puts the lyrics below the existing lyrics. So, I'm thinking there is some way of specifying context/voice/staff (?) to tell LP to put the lyrics directly beneath the upper staff. And then do the same for the lower staff. Something like \new Staff = "upper" << >> \new Lyrics \lyricsto "alto" [below staff "upper"] \new Staff = "lower" << >> \new Lyrics \lyricsto "tenor" [above staff "lower] \new Lyrics \lyricsto "bass" [below staff "lower"] Has anyone done something like this? Or am I complete off base? Thanks! Guy Stalnaker jimmyg...@gmail.com
