Re: cues with lyrics

[Remy CLAVERIE]

Hello Paul,

 

Here is a small example to show you how I use lyrics for cue voices. I am not sure that it is the best lilypondic-way to code, but it works.

Have a nice day,

 

Rémy

PS : Sorry for the notes in Italian.

 

 

\version "2.18.2"
\include "italiano.ly"

cueVerseII = \new Voice \relative do' {
  << { \new CueVoice = "cueA" \relative do'' {
    \autoBeamOff \clef treble fad8. mi16 re8 dod re16[ \melisma mi re mi] dod8.[ si16] \melismaEnd
    si2 r8 si4 do16[ re] do4 do r8 la4 si16[ do] si8 si la sol sol16[ \melisma la sol la] fad8.[ mi16] \melismaEnd mi2*1/4 } } \\
     { \override MultiMeasureRest #'staff-position = #7 R1*4 la''8\rest }
  >>
}

cueL_VerseII = \lyricmode {
  \set stanza = "Sop. I: " 
  Je -- sus will mich de -- cken, Je -- sus, Je -- sus, Je -- sus, Je -- sus will mich de -- cken, 
}

VI_VerseII = \relative do''' {
  \time  4/4
  R1*16 \cueVerseII si8 si si sol do16 si la8. sol16 la4. sol16 fad sol8 la16 sol fad8. mi16 red8 fad si4 r8 sol do4~ do8 si16 la si4~ si8 do16 si la8. sol16 sol8 si sol8. fad16 mi4 r8 mi la8. sol16 fad8. mi16 red4 mi8. fad16
  sol2~ sol8 fad16 sol fad8 mi mi4. red8 mi4 la sol8 fad fad8. mi16 mi2\bar"|."
}

\score {
  \new ChoirStaff
  <<
    \new Staff
    <<
      \new Voice {
        <<
          \autoBeamOn
          \clef treble
          \VI_VerseII
        >>
      }
      \new Lyrics \lyricsto "cueA" \cueL_VerseII
    >>
  >>
  \layout {
    \context {
      \Score
      \compressFullBarRests
      \override LyricText #'font-size = #-1
      \override NoteHead #'style = #'baroque
    } 
  }
}

Hello,

It is hard to understand what you want to achieve here.

In addition your structure is strange. I do not expect the \new Voice = "cue" in the \addQuote command but rather below in your \score block.

You only have one note in your oboe voice, hence only lyrics below this note.

> No. The one lyric is below a vocal cue.  I don't know why the second syllable/word is not under the 2nd cue note.

If you want your lyrics to align on another voice then you can use a NullVoice context as explained in NR 2.1.2 Techniques specific to lyrics > Polyphony with shared lyrics
