Dear readers,
I'm setting a song for a choir, and the different stanza's are supposed to be
sung at different volumes. So, I'd like to precede each stanza of my lyrics
with a dynamics mark.
Example:
====|====|====|====|====|====|====| <-- female staff
f 1. Once a jolly swagman etc. <-- lyrics stanza 1 (forte)
mf 2. Down came a jumbuck etc. <-- lyrics stanza 2 (mezzoforte)
====|====|====|====|====|====|====| <-- male staff
Is it at all possible to call a dynamics mark inside \lyricmode, so I can do
something like \set stanza = "\f 1." ? I have a feeling that I have to call a
glyph from a different font, and possibly resize it, but reading the program
reference gave me no clue how to do this.
Please let me end by mentioning that I am using Lilypond with a *lot* of
satisfaction. Incredible program. Thanks to all who (have) work(ed) on it!
Kind regards,
Sietse
