centered chorus lyrics

2006-09-01 Thread Little Lee
I'm typesetting a piece of music that my mother wrote that has two verses and a chorus. I want the lyrics to the chorus to be centered between the two staves, but I can't figure out how to do that. I can only get the chorus lyrics to either line up with one of the two verses, or to create a third

In this instance, I have two ties right after each other in the top staff, and the first one is completely ignored, while the second works normally. I hope I'm doing something wrong... \version "2.9.16" #(set-default-paper-size "letter") \header { tagline = "" } << \relative c'

You don't have to split the parts if you \tranpose direct from es to g hornpartInG = \relative c' { notes in G \transpose g ees \relative c' { notes in Es } } \score { \new Staff \transpose f g { \hornpartInG } } Or even bring the notes to C first (no more need
