Re: Lyrics question

[Carol Kankelborg]

Carl,
   For just a few measures of differing lyrics, I've used the 
\fatText tag. It is not elegant,
but seems much easier than the extra lyric section.  Here's an 
example from an arrangement
of Winter Wonderland ("And pretend that he is Parson Brown") where 
the bass part sings
"Brown,  Oh, Parson" while the other parts hold "Brown."

 \fatText d4_\markup{"Brown,"}   \fatText cs4_\markup { "Oh," }
  \fatText b4_\markup { "Par-" }    \fatText a4_\markup { "son." }

\fatText keeps the notes aligned with each note.   The one problem I
encountered is that the words are not always vertically aligned.  I 
don't understand the
vertical alignment units/properties enough to know how to fix that. 
It was just one spot and I decided
to let it be "good enough" the way it was.
