Hi Folks, I'm getting Christmas carols ready for December 2012.
In this case, the "Coventry Carol". I don't know how to arrange for 2 blocks of lyrics: a "burden" (a front-loaded chorus), followed by three stanzas. I explain my problem here, with .ly and .pdf files. <http://www.hosorembo.com/Lily/JF.html#Coventry> A .gif model is here (with slightly different interpretation of accidentals). <http://www.8notes.com/christmas/xmas/images/s7272b.gif> (Probably the 1591 MS that everyone works from didn't clearly mark accidentals.) If I use "volta" for the stanza section, how do I get the stanzas to print only inside the volta? I borrowed a "\context Voice = sopverse" [SopranoVerse] from another LilyPond file (version 2.6.3); even so, the stanzas start at the beginning, rather than at the \context point. The "burden" over-writes the first stanza "Two simultaneous lyric events, junking this one" Maybe there's a simple line of instructions I need to add. Maybe I need to completely rethink the way I structure my files.
