spacer lyric?

2003-09-22 Thread Jeffery B. Rancier
Is there such a way I can create a 'spacer lyric'? E.g. if I have a four part song, which shares the same lyrics 90% of the time, but differs the remaining 10%, I don't want to print duplicate lyrics 4 times, 90% of the time. I want to space the lyrics out until they diverge. I read the manual (

Why in the following example does 'lower' staff inherit the time signature property, but not the key signature? And is this the right place to set them? (This is from the satb.ly template?) And is 's1' just a name holder to associate each Lyrics and Staff contexts with each other? , | \scor

Staffgroup question

2003-11-10 Thread Jeffery B. Rancier
Hi All. I've been fiddling with the satb.ly template, trying to create a barbershop quartet template. My question: Why can I get away with specifying the time signature once in the first staff, and have it default to the same in the lower staff, but not have the key signature behave the same way.
