Hi Tim,

I am really stuck and would appreciate some help. I have tried just about
every which way there is and I apparently don't understand the concept here.
I am trying to enter braces at the beginning of the song. I was suggested
that they should go in the set stanza part of the lyrics and I agree with
that. All the other place I tried it wants to "use" a note. See the hand
drawn braces tying the 2 lines of each verse together? That is what I'd
like to accomplish. There is a smple of the code at the bottom of this email
Since you want a fetaBraces markup after the stanza number, you'll
have to \set stanza outside \lyricmode; see section 2.1.4.2 "Adding
dynamics marks to stanzas", which should provide you with some
inspiration for rearranging your file.

Thanks for that pointer - that is what I was missing
so here is what I ended up with - it isn't exact - the brace could be a
little more bold and if I make it
reach all the way across both line it makes the song not fit one page
any more so it is a little bit on the short side
leftbrace = \markup { \override #'(font-encoding . fetaBraces) \lookup
#"brace105" }
stanzaOneOne = {
\set stanza = \markup { "1. " \leftbrace }
\lyricmode { Child, you're mine and I love you.
Lend thine ear to what I say.
...
}
}
stanzaOneThree = {
% \set stanza = \markup { " "}
\lyricmode { Child, I have no great -- er joy
Than to have you walk in truth.
...
}
}
