Hello,
I found this thread while hunting for ideas on setting figured bass
and roman numerals for theory exercises since I’m a theory teacher and
like the flexibility of Lilypond for harmony examples plus my own
compositions. I can create a score and get \figures to work, but when
I add \lyrics I find that Lilypond wants to place one roman numeral
per measure. I’ve recreated the score in this thread and like the
results, but is there a way to do this without using the
/parallelMusic command?
Here is the score as I’ve done so far.
staffSATBMixedChoir = \new ChoirStaff {
<<
\new Staff {
\time 3/4
\set Staff.instrumentName="S/A"
\key g \major
\clef treble
<<
\context Voice = "melodySAT" \relative c'' { \voiceOne
g4 g a fis4. g8 a4 b b c b4. a8 g4 a g fis g2. \bar "||"}
\context Voice = "Alto" \relative c' { \voiceTwo
d4 d e d4. cis8 d4 g g a g4. fis8 g4 e d d d2. \bar "||"}
>>
}
\new Staff {
\set Staff.instrumentName="T/B"
\key g \major
\clef bass
<<
\context Voice = "Tenor" \relative c' { \voiceOne
b4 g c a4. a8 a4 d e e d4. c8 b4 c b a b2. \bar "||"}
\context Voice = "Bass" \relative c { \voiceTwo
g4 b c d4. e8 fis4 g e c d4. d8 e4 c d d g2. \bar "||"}
>>
}
>>
}
\score {
<<
\staffSATBMixedChoir
% >>
\figures { s4 <6> <6> s4. <4 3>8 <6>4 s4 s4 <6>4 <6 4>4. <7>8 s4
<6>4 <6 4> 4 s4 s2.}
\lyrics { I I ii } %obviously more numbers to go!
>>
}
I had another version of this that worked out rather well using
Frescobaldi which used a piano template with multiple voices, but the
roman numerals always appeared above the figured bass. Using a
/lyricsto command didn’t work out well.
Thanks for taking a look at this.
