Mr. Bailey- would like me to go and reread a section of the LM, that is all well and good but in the Manual for 2.10 section 7.3.9.4 Printing stanzas at the end- I used the information to create the score. The score looks fine except that when I add the \new Lyrics \lyricsto my stems reappear. So the original question remains why does adding this line of code into a place that makes the 'text' work and in the proper place on the score remove the \set Score.defaultBarType = "empty" so that the stems reappear?
Thanks- Jay 7.3.9.4 Printing stanzas at the end Sometimes it is appropriate to have one stanza set to the music, and the rest added in verse form at the end of the piece. This can be accomplished by adding the extra verses into a \markup section outside of the main score block. Notice that there are two different ways to force linebreaks when using \markup. melody = \relative c' { e d c d | e e e e | d d e d | c1 | } text = \lyricmode { \set stanza = "1." Ma- ry had a lit- tle lamb, its fleece was white as snow. } \book{ \score{ << \new Voice = "one" { \melody } \new Lyrics \lyricsto "one" \text >> \layout { } } \markup { \column{ \line{ Verse 2. } \line{ All the children laughed and played } \line{ To see a lamb at school. } } } \markup{ \wordwrap-string #" Verse 3. Mary took it home again, It was against the rule." } } Yours- Jay Jay Hamilton www.soundand.com 206-328-7694 _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
