Re: divisi lyrics

[Mats Bengtsson]

See http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-user/2007-03/msg00190.html
for some parts of an explanation. When it comes to using identifiers such as

mymelody = \relative c' {
c2 e | g e | c1 |
\new Voice = "verse" \repeat volta 2 {c4 d e f | g1 | }
a2 b | c1}

mymainlyrics = \lyricmode {
do mi sol mi do
la si do }

the main thing is to remember that these more or less work as cut and
paste, i.e. having
\score{
 ...
 \new Lyrics = "mainlyrics" \lyricsto melody \mymainlyrics
 ...
}
is the same as
\score{
 ...
 \new Lyrics = "mainlyrics" \lyricsto melody \lyricmode {
   do mi sol mi do
   la si do }
  ...
}
