Why not look a lyrics which is what I did and I got the following: And I couldn't figure out where to put it because I go an x =y situation again. Remember you know where to look in the docs and a newbie doesn't. I also remember reading that \lyricsto is needed to line up lyrics to the text, but I gather the \addlyrics is good enough...
Sorry I got confused but I did read the docs. Thanks Aaron http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.5/Documentation/user/out-www/lilypond/Single-staff.html#Single-staff The next example demonstrates a simple melody with lyrics. Cut and paste, add notes, then words for the lyrics. This example turns off automatic beaming, which is common for vocal parts. If you want to use automatic beaming, you'll have to change or comment out the relevant line. \version "2.4.0" melody = \relative c' { \clef treble \key c \major \time 4/4 a4 b c d } text = \lyricmode { Aaa Bee Cee Dee } \score{ << \context Voice = one { \autoBeamOff \melody } \lyricsto "one" \new Lyrics \text >> \layout { } \midi { \tempo 4=60 } } > Setting-simple-songs.html > > Hmm, it says that for simple stuff, just add > \addlyrics under the notes. > Let's see if that works.
