Lyrics can also be entered without \addlyrics
or
\lyricsto
. In this case,
syllables are entered like notes – but with pitches replaced by text – and the
duration of each syllable must be entered explicitly. For example:
play2 the4 game2. sink2 or4 swim2.
The alignment to a melody can be specified with the
associatedVoice
property,
\set associatedVoice = #"lala"
The value of the property (here: "lala"
) should be the name of
a Voice context. Without this setting, extender lines
will not be formatted properly.
Here is an example demonstrating manual lyric durations,
<< \new Voice = "melody" { \time 3/4 c2 e4 g2. } \new Lyrics \lyricmode { \set associatedVoice = #"melody" play2 the4 game2. } >>
The following example is a comparison of the different commands for entering lyrics:
<< \new Voice = "one" \relative c'' { \autoBeamOff \time 2/4 c4 b8. a16 g4. f8 e4 d c2 } \new Lyrics \lyricmode { Joy4 to8. the16 world!4. the8 Lord4 is come.2 } \new Lyrics \lyricmode { Joy to the earth! the Sa -- viour reigns. } \new Lyrics \lyricsto "one" { No more let sins and sor -- rows grow. } >>
The second stanza is not properly aligned because the durations
were not specified. A solution for that, as shown with the
third stanza, would be to use \lyricsto
.
