Jay,
The special characters show up fine in both the Windows Native, and Cygwin
build of 2.6.0. Have you saved your files in UTF-8 format? Even if you use
convert-ly like Mats suggested, you still need to go trough and manually
convert each "Tr\\'{e}s" to Très when going from 2.4.0 to 2.6.0.
Here's how I like to set up my lyrics, but I'm sure there are many ways to do
it. Reading the manual on \lyricsto, you'll see that it alligns each syllable
with the appropriate voice. This seems to be a pretty common question. Check
out some other posts:

I'm not sure I did it right, but I've attached what I got from running the
following commands:

Borislav,
Put a \set ignoreMelismata = ##t at the beginning of your lyrics and remove the
sets of double-quotes and you'll be fine.
Also, check out the examples in the documents about using \lyricsto. I find
that method a lot better than \addlyrics for more complex pieces. Here's your

Nick,
I had some time today, so I took a look at your file. I used the example in
the documents and pasted your notes onto there.
When aligning lyrics, using the new Lyricsto, you need a note in a voice for
each syllable. The purpose of Lyricsto is to specify which voice you want to

Check the spelling on your minimumVerticalExtent. That should go in the
\layout block instead of \paper as
\context{\Lyrics
minimumVerticalExtent = #'(-1 . 1)
}
\context{\Staff
minimumVerticalExtent = #'(-1 . 1)
}
or you can put
\set Staff.minimumVerticalExtent =

Is this what you are looking for? Perhaps you can write each voice
individually and then combine them together on one staff.

I took a look at your file and changed it a little. See if this is more of
what you were looking for. In the /score, I printed the chords first, then a
staff which combines both voices together, then the lyrics. I also added
/stemUp and /stemDown to your notes. This is more how I've been use

Arthur,
You might want to assign each voice separately, rather than put them in chords.
Then you can combine the voices together when you print the staff. This way
Lilypond knows exactly which notes to put your lyrics under. Also, remember to

Paul, you asked how I was invoking lilypond.
In the Cygwin window, I navigate to the folder where my files are stored then I type in:

I installed 2.6.0 for Cygwin on my Windows XP this morning. Lilypond says
that it can not find my files when I try to run it. I also tried running
my files through Lilypond-book and got the following errors:
File "/usr/bin/lilypond-book", line 1616, in ?
main ()
File "/usr/bin/lilypond-book",
I would imagine you could still use Lilypond-book to place the paragraph
between your scores if each score was stored in a separate music file.
But that brings up the question I've asked before. How do you access
Lilypond-book in the new Windows native version? The icon is not a Windows

Hey, thanks for the idea. I finally got the font to work that I wanted.

I downloaded jEdit, and that seems to work fine for UTF-8. From what I gathered, jEdit says that the Word files were saved in UTF-8Y, which puts a Byte Order Mark at the beginning of the file. I'm guessing that's why they didn't work with Lilypond.

Here's an example of what I've been trying to do. I'm trying to
change the font. I used Bitsream Charter in this example because
it comes with Cygwin, and others should also have it. I know that
it has a different font encoding and the characters will not show
up correctly in the 2.4 versions.
I get a message "Download Incomplete" when I try to download the version 2.4.2
off of Bertalan's site. I know there are newer versions available, but I want
to go back to try something that I thought I had working when I used 2.4.2 that

I'm not sure exactly what your question is, but if you want to use the cmr10
font, or another font in your markup, just add:
\override #'(font-name . "cmr10")
to your markup statement.
Or if you are trying to use the cmr10 in your postscript, maybe you need to use
cmr10.pfb instead
Thanks. That fixed the problem. I would have never discovered that one. My
noteheads are correct now.
