so I'm not sure if \context is there or not, it's not explicit.
So then you want to make it explicit. \new Voice = "Tenor II". I
You ask "This is not where Lyrics are defined. How did you come to
this conclusion?"
My answer is that it is the only place that worked for the text at
all without causing even more difficulties.
I ask because this particular syntax doesn't exist to my knowledge
anywhere in the documentation.
When I put it where you suggest the lyrics dissappear AND the
stems reappear. In fact I just tried it and it wouldn't compile so
I would assume that 'context' is not what's going on. So how do I
add context?
Assuming you've read this before, and you've just forgotten it, may I
point you towards Section 3.3 of the Learning Manual on Contexts.
And if you haven't read it before, then let me suggest that you stop
the engraving you are working on and read through the entire Learning
Manual. The process of attempting to generate a score in lilypond
will be painful, frustrating and most likely wrong unless you read
through the Learning Manual first.
Also, once you're done reading the Learning Manual, two very useful
sections in the Notation Reference will be Sections 2.2 Vocal Music
and 1.5.2 Multiple voice polyphony. While the second of these two is
far better than the corresponding section in the Learning Manual, I
still wouldn't suggest reading the Notation Reference until after
you've read the Learning Manual.
BTW I appreciate the attention to this. Thank you.
You're welcome.
