Hi,
I am to do many hymns with 2 to 6 verses. Then the music continues
with
some and a single chorus follows. I do the hymns with the verses,
fine. I
can add the chorus when the chorus has the same music as the verses
below
the bottom staff. (There are two staffs, like piano music, treble and
bass.) The verses I fit between the staffs. After the verses I
now want to
continue with the chorus.
I am missing something about the simultaneous processes and I do
not know
where to fit the chorus words and music in. I think I should
separate the
chorus music as well. Any advice on what I have here is welcome.
This is
going to be a template for many hymns if and when I get it right.
This is what the score looks like:
\score {
\new ChoirStaff <<
\new Staff = upper
\new Voice = "sopranos" {
\revert Rest #'direction
\global
\voiceOne
\pentagramaSup %the upper music
\chorusmusicSup % ?????????
}
\new Lyrics = "estrofaI" { s1 }
\new Lyrics = "estrofaII" { s1 }
\new Lyrics = "estrofaIII" { s1 }
\new Lyrics = "VerseIV" { s1 }
\context Lyrics = VerseOne \lyricsto sopranos { \set vocalName
= "1."
\estrofaI }
\context Lyrics = VerseTwo \lyricsto sopranos { \set vocalName
= "2. "
\estrofaII }
\context Lyrics = VerseThree \lyricsto sopranos { \set
vocalName = "3. "
\estrofaIII }
\context Lyrics = VerseFour \lyricsto sopranos { \set vocalName
= "4. "
\estrofaIV }
\new Staff = lower <<
\clef bass
\new Voice = "tenors" {
\global
\voiceTwo
\pentagramaInf % lower music
\chorusMusicInf % ??????????
}
% This is for the chorus running in parallel with the verses but
does not
work in many cases
\new Lyrics = "Chorus" { s1 }
\context Lyrics = Chorus \lyricsto sopranos { \set stanza =
"CORO: "
\coro }
\layout {
\context {
\Score
\remove "Bar_number_engraver" %no bar numbers
\override InstrumentName #'X-offset = #6 %Put the number in
the staff
\override InstrumentName #'font-series = #'bold %bold it
\override InstrumentName #'font-size = #5 %size it
}
\context {
\Staff
\override VerticalAxisGroup #'minimum-Y-extent = #'(-3 . 3)
\override Stem #'length = #8.0 %longer stems
}
}
\midi { }
}

When I do these kinds of things, I usually assign a different voice
context to the verses and the choruses. It can be a bit tedious
(especially if you want to re-use a context) but the general idea is so:
soprano = \relative c'' {
\context Voice = sopranoVerseI { c4 d e f }
\context Voice = sopranoChorusI { g4 g g g }
\context Voice = sopranoVerseII { f4 e d c }
\context Voice = sopranoChorusII { c4 c c c }
}
alto = \relative c'' {
\context Voice = altoVerseI { c4 g c a }
\context Voice = altoChorusI { g4 g g g }
\context Voice = altoVerseII { a4 c b c }
\context Voice = altoChorusII { c4 c c c }
}
And so on for the other voices. And then the appropriate lyrics
contexts for each. It's possible to do it using \context Voice =
sopranoVerse each time there's a verse and \context Voice =
sopranoChorus for each chorus, but it's only slightly more convenient
and I only do that if I'm switching between contexts a lot.
