> - \repeat unfold 64 { \skip 4 } Thank you, Francisco. Typing \repeat unfold 4 { \skip 4 } is just fine and it looks like it will work for my actual song as well.
Thanks to Phil holmes I now know why it does not matter what value I write behind \skip in lyricmode. It alignes every time. However, some value must be present, I cannot just write \repeat unfold 4 { \skip } Here my updated example, Issue solved. This is a more elegant way to use in long songs. ------------ \version "2.12.3" melody = \relative g' { \time 2/4 g g g g \repeat volta 2 { b b } \alternative { { b d } { b a } } \bar "||" g g g g \bar "|." } lyricsformelody = \lyricmode { Part one is long. Part two re -- peats \skip 4 \skip 4 Part three is long. } lyricsforrepetition = \lyricmode { \repeat unfold 4 { \skip 4 } ly -- rics \skip 4 \skip 4 dif -- fer. } \score { << \new Voice = "one" { \melody } \new Lyrics \lyricsto "one" { \lyricsformelody } \new Lyrics \lyricsto "one" { \lyricsforrepetition } >> \layout { } } _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
