The following does what I want but requires explicit variables that have to be manually concatenated. There's got to be a way to reduce the overhead. After all, Scheme is the most powerful language in the known universe, right?
\include "english-solfa.ly" % english.ly modified to include solfa syllables
lyrfirst = \lyricmode { first two three four }
musfirst = \relative do' { do8 re mi fa }
lyrnext = \lyricmode { five six sev eight }
musnext = \relative do'' { sol la ti do }
% ...
sopmelody = \relative do {
\musfirst \musnext % ...
}
soplyrics = \lyricmode {
\lyrfirst \lyrnext % ...
}
\score {
<<
\new Voice = "Sop" {
\autoBeamOn
\sopmelody
}
\new Lyrics \lyricsto "Sop" { \soplyrics }
>>
}
Cheers,
Mike
