I transcribe a lot of chant music and discovered that using the \breve and
putting the lyrics in quotes looks awful with more than a couple of words.
The justification never looked right, and the word spacing was always odd.

Putting a skip in the lyrics prints a note without lyrics under it. But
putting a skip in the music does not print the lyrics without a note over
it; instead, the words are just shifted to the next note.
It is useful to able to use note skips to fix spacing issues around bar
lines, but I believe

Yes. The default templates that come with OOoLilyPond automatically insert
everything you type into a \score block, which causes problems if you are
doing more than a little snippet.
Use the following as an outline to create your own template and make it your

When I received this error, there was a line of code highlighted. In that
line I edited the index (i-1) to (i) and the script started working.
Note that you also will have to edit Subs.xba to change the 4 occurrences of

On the highlighted line in the basic editor, change the (i-1) to (i) and the
next time you type Ctrl-M the edit window will work.
My problem is Lilypond 2.11.20 is not recognizing either
-b eps or --backend=eps so the code fragment won't compile.

I want to alternate markup text verses (reader) with scores (choir). The
text verses change from week to week, but the scores remain the same.
What I want to do is something like this:
%
% VERSES HERE
%
BVone = \new Text { Enter verse one text here }
BVtwo = \new Text { Enter verse two text her
It's easy to break pages inside a Score block, but I need to break the page
before a Markup block before the score.
