Re: Dynamics in Lyrics?

[William Rehwinkel via LilyPond user discussion]

This is perfect, but I'll add something else to keep in mind: you can use "\markup \dynamic f" to add dynamics in markup.

Thanks,

Hi Folks,
    Is there a simple way to add dynamic markings to lyrics?  In a
    multi-verse song, the dynamics can be different verse to verse.

    I'd like to do something like this:

\score {
   <<
     \new Staff \context Voice = tune {\repeat volta 2 { c c c c }}
     \new Lyrics \lyricsto tune  { \set stanza = "1." \mp get \cresc lou -- der 
\f here }
     \new Lyrics \lyricsto tune  { \set stanza = "2."  \ff this is very loud  }
     >>
}

First, dynamics are entered _behind_ the event they are supposed to
attach to, not before.  Second, if you want a context to engrave
dynamics, it needs the respective engravers.  Try
