lyricsmode is not a music mode, but an entry mode. \parallelMusic gets one argument and it is not possible to have this argument scanned in more than one mode. I don't really see a feasible way to do this kind of parallelism in LilyPond. It would be an interesting exercise to offer a "mixed" mode where lyrics are just entered as quoted strings interspersed with notes, having to pull the respective events apart afterwards in a music function. But that would require actually changing the parser and recompiling LilyPond. -- David Kastrup _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
