Hello,
It is hard to understand what you want to achieve here.
In addition your structure is strange. I do not expect the \new Voice
= "cue" in the \addQuote command but rather below in your \score block.
I want the cue lyrics to be on one line under the vocal cues. This a
standard opera or musical show need for the instrumental parts.
This was taken from a snippet that I can't find right now but this is a
working variation of it. The lyric syllables are on one line and all at
the same level under the vocal cue notes:
version "2.19.83"
oboeNotes = \relative c'' {
c2 r8 d16\f f e g f a
g8 g16 g g2.
}
\addQuote oboeNotes
\new Voice = "cue"
\oboeNotes
lyr = \lyricmode {
xy a b c d e f g a h i
}
<<
\new Staff
\new Voice = "Oboe" \oboeNotes
\new Lyrics \lyricsto "Oboe" \lyr
\new Staff
\new Voice
\relative c'' {
c2
<<
\cueDuring #"oboeNotes" #up { r2 }
>>
g2 c,
}
\new Lyrics = "cueLyrics"
\lyricsto "cue" {
\set fontSize = #-4
a b c d e f g a h i
}
>>
You only have one note in your oboe voice, hence only lyrics below
this note.
No. The one lyric is below a vocal cue. I don't know why the second
syllable/word is not under the 2nd cue note.
If you want your lyrics to align on another voice then you can use a
NullVoice context as explained in NR 2.1.2 Techniques specific to
lyrics > Polyphony with shared lyrics
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.21/Documentation/notation/techniques-specific-to-lyrics.html#polyphony-with-shared-lyrics
I don't quite see how your documentation reference works with vocal cues
in instrumental music.
Thank you for replying,
Paul
Cheers,
Xavier
