Hi Stéphane

You might find it easier to use one of the built-in templates - see appendix A1 of the Learning Manual,

https://lilypond.org/doc/v2.22/Documentation/learning/satb-template

These templates avoid the complications of setting up the score structure altogether for most forms of vocal music. I used them all the time to prepare music when I was leading a small choir.

Worth a look.

Subject: 2nd stanza lyrics cont.

Thank you Remy and Valentin for your replies 🙂

Unfortunately i still can't figure this out.
I tried separating each stanza into different variables, like so:


altoWordsOne = \lyricmode {
\set stanza = "1. "
% first verse and chorus
}
altoWordsTwo = \lyricmode {
\set stanza = "2. "
% second verse
}
altoWordsThree = \lyricmode {
\set stanza = "3."
% third verse
}

...and then squeezing it in here, like so:

    \new Lyrics = "bass"
    \context Lyrics = "tenor" \lyricsto "tenor" \sopWords
    \context Lyrics = "lead" \lyricsto "lead" \altoWordsOne
    \context Lyrics = "lead" \lyricsto "lead" \altoWordsTwo
    \context Lyrics = "lead" \lyricsto "lead" \altoWordsThree
    \context Lyrics = "baritone" \lyricsto "baritone" \tenorWords
    \context Lyrics = "bass" \lyricsto "bass" \bassWords

However, this still lead to an error message, something about a conflict or rejection of an event. What is going on now?

Thanks,
Stéphane
