Hi all I have a song that starts with 1 bar of adlib (without accompaniment), 1 bar of silence in the melody, but with a chord, then another melody adlib bar without accompaniment, and finally (in this example) again a bar with chords only (w/o accompaniment). I cannot figure out how to align the bars of the two parts (melody and chords, and further ones later) properly. I tried to move the Timing_translator from the score to the staff context but without success. Any advice is highly appreciated.
TIA, Stephan BTW: the song is "Somethings' Got A Hold On Me" by Etta James - the notes in the MVE do not match yet of course ;-) \version "2.24.1" global = { \key c \major \time 4/4 } melody = \relative c'' { \global \cadenzaOn \repeat unfold 19 { a16 } \cadenzaOff \bar "|" R1\fermata \cadenzaOn \repeat unfold 21 { f16 } f16\fermata \cadenzaOff \bar "|" R1 \fine } harmonies = \chordmode { \global s1 a1:m s1 f1:m \fine } melodyPart = \new Staff { \melody } chordPart = \new ChordNames { \harmonies } \score { << \chordPart \melodyPart >> \layout {} }
