Hi everyone,
I need help with lyrics. I am using version 2.1.0-2 in Debian Sarge
(testing) and my lyrics are not lining up under notes. I need to know
how to install spaces in lyrics where there are rests.
I have:
\paper { indent = 1.0 }
\score { <<
\context ChordNames \chords { r2. a2. e2. e2. a2. d2. a2. e2. a2. }
\new Staff \notes { \clef bass \key a \major \time 6/8
\partial 8*1 e8 | a a a a gis fis gis4. r4 e8
b b b b a b a4. r4 a8
d' d' d' fis4 d'8 cis'4 b8 b8 a4 a8
b4 a8 gis4 gis8 a4.~a4 r8}
\context Lyrics \lyrics {
On8 Mon8--day8 I8 went8 to8 my8 home, And8
there8 I8 was8 paint8-ed8 in8 blue. I8
sang8 a8 nice8 song4, the8 whole4 day8 long4, And8
it4 was8 called4 '____'.}
>> }
It is the rests that seem to get words even though I don't want that.
Also, there is a pickup note at the beginning of the piece, how do I set
the final bar as having 5 of the 6 eight notes?
Thanks for any help. Maybe direction to documentation for my version of
lilypond would be best. I have some on my machine but the web site has
differing docs.
All the best,
Sterling
