Hi,
When I'm typesetting hymns, I'd like to be able to enter lyrics once
only, so that they are between the staves of a system for the choir,
and below a single melody line for the congregation.
Is there an easy way to join syllables and strip durations,
underscores, hyphens, and extenders from a lyricmode block to create
a markup block?
So I could write something like this:
verse = \lyricmode {
this is a verse __
it real -- ly could be worse
}
\score {
<<
\new Staff \new Voice = tune { \music}
\new Lyrics \lyricsto tune \verse
>>
}
\markup {
\column {
\left-align {
\lyrics-to-markup \verse
}
}
}
where \lyrics-to-markup would (logically) convert the \lyricmode verse content
to:
"this is a verse"
"it really could be worse"
