Lyric word spanning two notes

2005-12-12 Thread Stephen Torri
I have a measure in 2/2 time which I have four quarter notes. Below it I want to have lyrics where one word is sung in two parts in this measure. So the notes and lyrics go in a pseudo code fashion would be: a b c d si -- lience The notes 'a' and 'b' are paired with 'si--' where 'c' and 'd' ar

Invisible notes, Scheme contexts

2005-12-12 Thread Don Blaheta
Two unrelated questions. 1) Is there anything I can make that is totally invisible, yet will count as a note to hang a lyric on? s1 won't do because \lyricsto ignores it as well. 2) Is there a Scheme function to retrieve the _current_ context? It looks like all the functions require a context a

You can easily add text instructions anywhere in the score using so-called Text Markup. However, there is no direct support for footnotes, even though you can specify text that should go into the page footer if you can stand to handle the numbering or marking of the footnotes manually. Of course,
