Hi all,
I've been stewing over what should be simple all afternoon. I documentation
seems to be getting me no where. I'm working on entering an old hymn. The
piece has an upbeat, which I'm having a bit of trouble with. The partial
measures also repeat throughout the hymn. My trouble is that I can't seem to
figure out how to make the bar lines land in the right places. I could use a
complicated set of repeats but the problem is that if I do that the lyrics
line will be complicated as well. There are three verses to this hymn.
Standard hymn writing doesn't have the verses double back. You repeat when
you begin the second verse. What are my options here? I've put the code
below so you can see the challenge that I'm up against.
Thanks,
Rose
world = {
\key g \major
\time 3/2
