>  - \repeat unfold 64 { \skip 4 } Thank you, Francisco. Typing \repeat unfold 4 { \skip 4 } is just fine and it looks like it will work for my actual song as well. Thanks to Phil holmes I now know why it does not matter what value I write behind \skip in lyricmode. It alignes every time. However

Hello, I am glad that I have found a conversation about different lyrics for repetition and alternatives in the Lilypond mailing list archive. I have just installed Lilypond, worked through the introduction and am trying to write a song where I need a more sophisticated solution for writing lyrics

On second thought, this new approach that uses only addlyrics is the best. Simply put a line of lyrics that contains 1st stanza plus 1st alternative, plus 2nd alternative, plus the rest. Then add a second line for the repeated fragment. I think comments explain all, ask again if not. \relative c'

Hu, You are very close to the solution! Your \new Voice inside the alternative is an expression that gets the value of the very next block surrounded by curly braces (and only the first one). That's why the 'alt' lyrics does not fill the second alternative. Also, you obtain 'sol' vertically alig

Thank you for your advice. I ever read this in NR, but wasn't sure whether it works. Now again the example. I don't know whether the variables are correct, but it really can't work! The error is unexpected \alternative, perhaps because I assigned it to another voice. How to hack on it? Regards

This is expected when you mix the repeat structure with variables and the top score structure. What I suggested is to open new voice blocks without touching the top repeat structure. You don't really need variables to do this, and I talked about voice names, not variable names. More below. 2009/7/

Hello, I seldom deal with songs, and am hard to search the mailinglist (NR. leaves this section empty!). So maybe this problem has been discussed before. I'm writing a song with two verses most of the time. In the melody-only version (I'll give it to my teacher), the melody is repeated with a
