Hello Lilypond team and users,
I'm engraving songs with many verses, and I would like to have stanza numbers in front of each line instead of only first line.
I found vocalName and shortVocalName seems suitable for this purpose, but their positions do not adhere to verses like stanza does.
Is there any way to make vocalName/shortVocalName attach to verse like stanza, or any other way to achieve this?
\version "2.22.1"
musicOne = \relative {
\repeat unfold 100 { c'' }
}
verseOne = \lyricmode {
\set vocalName = "1."
\set shortVocalName = "1." % on each new line, but too far from text
\repeat unfold 100 { a }
}
verseTwo = \lyricmode {
\set stanza = "2." % attach to text but only first line, not following new lines
\repeat unfold 100 { a }
}
\score {
<<
\new Voice = "one" {
\time 2/4
\musicOne
}
\new Lyrics \lyricsto "one" {
\verseOne
}
\new Lyrics \lyricsto "one" {
\verseTwo
}
>>
\layout {
\context {
\Score
\override vocalName #'extra-offset = #'(-10 . 0) % not effective
\override shortVocalName #'extra-offset = #'(-10 . 0) % not effective
}
}
}Any help is appreciated.
Kind regards,
Tu DINH
