I'm not aware of sth like that.
You could try:
\version "2.12.3"
\include "english.ly" %Use English notation
#(set-global-staff-size 19.5)
\header {
title = "Gloria"
}
melodytwo = \relative c'' {
\key g \major % fs
r2 r4 g4 | a4 a2 a4 |
fs2. fs4 | g4 g2 a4 |
b2. r4 | r1 |
r2 r4 g4 | a2 a2 |
fs2. fs4 | g2 a2 |
b2. r4 | r1 |
r2 r4 g4 | a4 a2 a4 |
fs2. fs4 | g4 g fs2 |
e2. r4 |
}
texttwo = \lyricmode {
Have mer -- cy on us, have mer -- cy on
\once \override LyricText #'self-alignment-X = #-0.96
\markup { us. \hspace #3
\column { "You take away the sins "
\line { "of the world," }
}
}
re -- ceive our prayer, re -- ceive our
\once \override LyricText #'self-alignment-X = #-0.8
\markup { prayer. \hspace #3
\column { "You are seated at the"
\line { "right hand of the Father,"}
}
}
have mer -- cy on us, have mer -- cy on us.
}
\score{
<<
\new Voice = "two" { \melodytwo }
\new Lyrics \lyricsto "two" \texttwo
>>
\layout {
indent = 0
\context {
\Staff
\remove "Time_signature_engraver"
\remove "Bar_number_engraver"
}
}
}
The drawback: The markup isn't breakable.
To avoid this I've chosen a smaller global-staff-size, though, this
depends on your paper-size.
Other possibilities are thinkable:
- a second voice to associate the other lyrics.
- as RehearsalMark
Both will have other drawbacks and stronger ones, imho.
HTH,
Harm
BTW,
why do you use this outdated version?
