Re: Polyphony and multiple voice contexts

I appreciate your frustration, and unfortunately don't have an answer. I've only been working with lilypond for a week! But, a number of my questions on vocal scores have gone unanswered. This seems to indicate to me that the manual need some revision, as a lot of people do seem to be doing vocal work! I'd be happy to help with the manual once i know what I'm doing.

:-D

In the meantime, though, please let me know if you find a solution!

Not much help, but when I run your full file, I get:

This suggests to me that either you lyrics or your voices are declared:
- in the wrong place/order
- with the wrong syntax.

I'm having quite a lot of trouble learning some aspects of lilypond. And I'm a programmer. I've used regular expressions and left recursive grammars... And I frequently write with LaTeX! You'd think this would be easy for me!


Thanks,

Markian

I've only been working with Lilypond for a couple months, but I haven't been able to figure this out by the manual. I'm using version 2.6.4-5 for Windows.

I use Lilypond for engraving congregational hymns. Almost all the songs are in 4-parts, and have the 3 verses followed by a single chorus. All the lyrics should appear between the staves. I want the flags on the staff to face opposite directions (soprano and tenor up, alto and bass down). I've seen the SATB score example, but I also want to separate the VERSE music and lyrics from the CHORUS
music and lyrics.

The following solution almost works, but no lyrics appear. (full .ly source is available at http://36thstchurchofchrist.com/documents/bindhands.ly ) Can someone please point
out the error(s)?
