Dear All,
I'm trying to set an SATB hymn with separate vocal staves and a piano
accomp. duplicating the voice parts
(sop. - stem up, alto - stemdown etc.)
I hope you have seen the "SATB vocal score and automatic piano
reduction" template
in the manual, (documentation for version 2.11 -> Learning Manual ->
Templates).
Where do you insert \stemUp or \stemDown?
The easiest is to replace
<< { \soprano } { \alto } >>
by
<< { \soprano } \\ { \alto } >>
and correspondingly for the left hand stave. See section "Single staff
polyphony".
Also, I would like to have a bracket for the vocal parts.
See
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.11/Documentation/user/lilypond-learning/Staff-groups#Staff-groups
and
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.11/Documentation/user/lilypond/Grouping-staves#Grouping-staves
The other problem is
when I type cis for c sharp or fis for f sharp, I get "string error".
The file you include below contains the line
\include "english.ly"
which tells LilyPond to use English note names instead of the default
Dutch note names.
Just remove that line if you want to use cis, des, and so on.
I have been through the tutorial and have searched the documentation.
I hope you have looked in the documentation for version 2.11. Even if
you happen to
use version 2.10, the manual for 2.11 is heavily revised and improved,
especially the
Learning Manual (what used to be called the Tutorial) and almost all of
it applies equally
well to version 2.10.
