Hi, I've been struggling with this for some time now - and am relatively new to Lilypond ... all help really appreciated.
I have a piece for boys and girls on 2 staves with piano accpt. Every so often I wish e.g. the girls to divide into 2 parts and would like to keep on the same stave: ... a2~a4 fs8 fs | \mark \default % [D] % split into two here << { e2 ~ e4 s8 e8 | fs g4 a8 ~ a4 s8 a16 a | } \\ { e,2 ~ e4 r8 e8 | fs8 e4 fs8 ~ fs4 r8 fs16 fs | } >> ... This works fine. I now need to add lyrics. All is OK until the split into 2 parts when no lyrics are printed at all - though they get picked up by the music once the split has been closed. I have set the soprano voice in its own context: sopranoVoicePart = \new Staff \with { instrumentName = "Girls" midiInstrument = "choir aahs" } { \sopranoVoice } % notes \addlyrics { \verseOneSopranoVoice \verseTwoSopranoVoice } % lyrics How do I get the lyrics to be displayed when the split happens? Thanks very much for any guidance you might be able to provide, other examples I have looked at just don't seem to quite fit.
