Stanza numbers can be added by setting stanza
, e.g.,
\new Voice { \time 3/4 g2 e4 a2 f4 g2. } \addlyrics { \set stanza = "1. " Hi, my name is Bert. } \addlyrics { \set stanza = "2. " Oh, che -- ri, je t'aime }
These numbers are put just before the start of first syllable.
Names of singers can also be added. They are printed at the start of
the line, just like instrument names. They are created by setting
vocalName
. A short version may be entered as vocNam
.
\new Voice { \time 3/4 g2 e4 a2 f4 g2. } \addlyrics { \set vocalName = "Bert " Hi, my name is Bert. } \addlyrics { \set vocalName = "Ernie " Oh, che -- ri, je t'aime }
