How would I add rests in lyricmode? In the song that I am arranging, I need a couple of chords to occur without any lyrics, then the lyrics come in after say 2 measures worth of rests. On Tue, Feb 24, 2015 at 2:15 PM, Pierre Perol-Schneider < pierre.schneider.pa...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi Ryan, H

Re: creating pop/vocal lead sheets without the melody line

Hi Ryan, you might find an advantage if you already have defined a melody anyway. You can then replace the "normal" voice by a NullVoice which doesn't show up in the score. By that, you can re-use a "\lyricsto"-assignment already made. But LilyPond still treats the material as a musical score. Fo

Thanks for your replies. Kieran is correct inasmuch I am using the Mac OS X app. I didn't realize that the LilyPond preferences were only for the editor. That's not what OS X preferences usually limit themselves to. IAC that's OK with me as I don't use the LilyPond built in editor. Instead I use
