I'm trying to introduce an asterisk ("*") into a lyrics line in the
following piece to indicate where the congregation should join in.
However, I'm getting an error "unexpected *" when I try it. Take the
asterisk out and everything works fine.
\version "2.18.2"
\language "english"
<<
\new Staff \with {
\remove "Time_signature_engraver"
}
\relative c' {
\key f \major
\set Score.timing = ##f
\omit Stem
e4 f( g ) g g-- \bar "|" g g (bflat) g g f f--( g--) \bar "|" f g
bflat bflat( c ) bflat c d-- \bar "|" c bflat a g--( a bflat g ) g--
\bar "||"
}
\addlyrics {
The ri -- sen Lord *has robed him -- self with might; let us re --
joice and be glad and give him glo -- ry.
}
>>
The only place in the documentation where I can find mention of the
asterisk is:
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.18/Documentation/notation/chants-psalms-and-hymns.it.html
However, this just uses the asterisk as a regular character and has it
in a markup, rather than a lyrics line, as so doesn't seem to be applicable.
Any suggestions on what I need to be doing differently?
Also, ideally I'd like the asterisk to be centered between "Lord" and
"has" rather than attached to "has". Is there a way to make that happen?
