Hi,
Brahms' Waldesnacht has an intro stanza number one, and after that a
twice repeated melody, with stanza's 2 and three.
How can I achieves those stanza's to begin at the repeat?
Jogchum,
It would normally be better to reduce your music to a one measure stanza and a one measure repeat before posting to the list. That makes it easier for both you and the list members to see what is happening.
I've changed your code to show how I would do it.
1) Put stanza 1 music in a separate music variable.
2) Put repeat music in a separate music variable.
3) Make the soprano part by combining stanza 1 and the repeat music.
4) Put one Voice and one NullVoice in your staff.
a) The Voice has your soprano notes
b) The NullVoice has a skip for the stanza 1 and notes from the repeat music.
5) Add two Lyrics contexts in parallel with the Staff (as part of the ChoirStaff)
a) The first Lyrics has the text for Verse 1 followed by the text for verse2. It is put to the soprano voice
b) The second Lyrics has the text for Verse 3. It is put to the nullvoice, so no lyrics go with the skip.
And it all works out.
