I'm trying to create a simple score with voice/lyrics and piano. I'm
basing it on a snippet I found in Frescobaldi, but entering things
myself with a few differences, as a learning exercise. The error I get
in the \score block when I engrave is:
| syntax error, unexpected \lyricsto, expecting SCM_IDENTIFIER or
| SCM_TOKEN or STRING \new Lyrics = \lyricsto mel \text
Here's the working example:
\version "2.19.12"
\language "english"
% variables
global = {
\key e \minor
\time 2/2
\tempo 4 = 120
}
melody = \relative c' {
\global
\clef bass
a2 b2 |
}
text = \lyricmode {
hel -- lo |
}
chordsymbols = \chordmode {
% chords here
}
upper = \relative c'' {
\global
\clef treble
a2 b2 |
}
lower = \relative c {
\global
\clef bass
a2 b2 |
}
\score {
<<
\new Voice = "mel" { \autoBeamOff \melody }
\new Lyrics = \lyricsto mel \text
\new ChordNames = "chordsymbols"
\new PianoStaff <<
\new Staff = "upper" \upper
\new Staff = "lower" \lower
>>
>>
\layout {
\context {}
}
\midi {}
}
Thank you,
steven arntson
