27 If you read section "Switching the melody associated with a lyrics
29 it indeed says "Again, the command must be one syllable too
31 One problem with the current formulation is that the "Again"
32 refers to what's described 2 subsections earlier in "Lyrics to
33 multiple notes of a melisma", which isn't obvious unless you have
39 Since LilyPond input files are text, there are two issues to
40 consider when working with vocal music:
44 Song texts must be entered as text, not notes. For example, the
45 input@tie{}@code{d} should be interpreted as a one letter syllable, not the
49 Song texts must be aligned with the notes of their melody.
52 There are a few different ways to define lyrics; we shall begin
53 by examining the simplest method, and gradually increase complexity.
56 * Common notation for vocals::
57 * Aligning lyrics to a melody::
58 * Placement of lyrics::
64 Checking to make sure that text scripts and lyrics are within the margins is
65 a relatively large computational task. To speed up processing, LilyPond does
66 not perform such calculations by default; to enable it, use
69 \override Score.PaperColumn #'keep-inside-line = ##t
72 To make lyrics avoid bar lines as well, use
78 \consists "Bar_engraver"
79 \consists "Separating_line_group_engraver"
80 \override BarLine #'transparent = ##t

107 @subsubsection Setting simple songs
111 The easiest way to add lyrics to a melody is to append
114 \addlyrics @{ @var{the lyrics} @}
118 to a melody. Here is an example,
120 @lilypond[ragged-right,verbatim,fragment,quote]
122 \relative c' { c2 e4 g2. }
123 \addlyrics { play the game }
126 More stanzas can be added by adding more
127 @code{\addlyrics} sections
129 @lilypond[ragged-right,verbatim,fragment,quote]
131 \relative c' { c2 e4 g2. }
132 \addlyrics { play the game }
133 \addlyrics { speel het spel }
134 \addlyrics { joue le jeu }
137 The command @code{\addlyrics} cannot handle polyphony settings. For these
138 cases you should use @code{\lyricsto} and @code{\lyricmode}, as will be
139 introduced in @ref{Entering lyrics}.
143 @node Entering lyrics
144 @subsubsection Entering lyrics
149 @cindex spaces, in lyrics
150 @cindex quotes, in lyrics
152 Lyrics are entered in a special input mode, which can be introduced
153 by the keyword @code{\lyricmode}, or by using @code{\addlyrics} or
154 @code{\lyricsto}. In this mode you can enter lyrics,
155 with punctuation and accents, and the input @code{d} is not parsed as
156 a pitch, but rather as a one letter syllable. Syllables are entered
157 like notes, but with pitches replaced by text. For example,
160 \lyricmode @{ Twin-4 kle4 twin- kle litt- le star2 @}
163 There are two main methods to specify the horizontal placement
164 of the syllables, either by specifying the duration of each syllable
165 explicitly, like in the example above, or by automatically aligning
166 the lyrics to a melody or other voice of music, using @code{\addlyrics}
169 @c For more details see @ref{The Lyrics context}.
171 A word or syllable of lyrics begins with an alphabetic character, and ends
173 any space or digit. The following characters can be any character
174 that is not a digit or white space.
176 Any character that is not a digit or white space will be regarded as
177 part of the syllable; one important consequence of this is that a word
178 can end with @code{@}}, which often leads to the following mistake:
181 \lyricmode @{ lah- lah@}
184 In this example, the @code{@}} is included in the final syllable, so the
185 opening brace is not balanced and the input file will probably not
189 @funindex \property in \lyricmode
192 Similarly, a period which follows an alphabetic sequence is included in
193 the resulting string. As a consequence, spaces must be inserted around
194 property commands: do @emph{not} write
197 \override Score.LyricText #'font-shape = #'italic
204 \override Score . LyricText #'font-shape = #'italic
208 @cindex spaces, in lyrics
209 @cindex quotes, in lyrics
210 @cindex ties, in lyrics
212 In order to assign more than one syllable to a single note, you can
213 surround them with quotes or use a @code{_} character, to get spaces
214 between syllables, or use tilde symbol (@code{~}) to get a lyric tie.
216 @lilypond[quote,ragged-right,fragment,verbatim]
218 \relative c' { c2 e4 g2 e4 }
219 \addlyrics { gran- de_a- mi- go }
220 \addlyrics { pu- "ro y ho-" nes- to }
221 \addlyrics { pu- ro~y~ho- nes- to }
224 The lyric tie is implemented with the Unicode character U+203F, so be
225 sure to have a font (Like DejaVuLGC) installed that includes this
229 To enter lyrics with characters from non-English languages, or with
230 accented and special characters (such as the heart symbol or slanted quotes),
231 simply insert the characters directly into the input file and save
232 it with UTF-8 encoding. See @ref{Text encoding}, for more info.
234 @lilypond[quote,ragged-right,fragment,verbatim]
235 \relative c' { e4 f e d e f e2 }
236 \addlyrics { He said: “Let my peo ple go”. }
239 To use normal quotes in lyrics, add a backslash before the
242 @lilypond[quote,ragged-right,fragment,verbatim]
243 \relative c' { \time 3/4 e4 e4. e8 d4 e d c2. }
244 \addlyrics { "\"I" am so lone- "ly\"" said she }
247 The full definition of a word start in Lyrics mode is somewhat more
250 A word in Lyrics mode begins with: an alphabetic character, @code{_},
251 @code{?}, @code{!}, @code{:}, @code{'}, the control characters @code{^A}
252 through @code{^F}, @code{^Q} through @code{^W}, @code{^Y}, @code{^^},
253 any 8-bit character with ASCII code over 127, or a two-character
254 combination of a backslash followed by one of @code{`}, @code{'},
255 @code{"}, or @code{^}.
257 @c " to balance double quotes for not-so-bright context-sensitive editors
259 To define variables containing lyrics, the function @code{lyricmode}
263 verseOne = \lyricmode @{ Joy to the world the Lord is come @}

269 c4 b8. a16 g4. f8 e4 d c2

284 @cindex lyrics, variables
286 To define variables containing lyrics, the function @code{\lyricmode}
287 must be used. You do not have to enter durations though, if you add
288 @code{\addlyrics} or @code{\lyricsto}
289 when invoking your variable.
292 verseOne = \lyricmode @{ Joy to the world the Lord is come @}
295 \new Voice = "one" \relative c'' @{
298 c4 b8. a16 g4. f8 e4 d c2
300 \addlyrics @{ \verseOne @}
305 For different or more complex orderings, the best way is to setup the
306 hierarchy of staves and lyrics first, e.g.,
309 \new Voice = "soprano" @{ @emph{music} @}
310 \new Lyrics = "sopranoLyrics" @{ s1 @}
311 \new Lyrics = "tenorLyrics" @{ s1 @}
312 \new Voice = "tenor" @{ @emph{music} @}
316 and then combine the appropriate melodies and lyric lines
319 \context Lyrics = sopranoLyrics \lyricsto "soprano"
325 The final input would resemble

382 @subsubsection Automatic syllable durations
384 @cindex automatic syllable durations
385 @cindex lyrics and melodies
387 The lyrics can be aligned under a given melody
388 automatically. This is achieved by combining the
389 melody and the lyrics with the @code{\lyricsto} expression
392 \new Lyrics \lyricsto @var{name} @dots{}
395 This aligns the lyrics to the
396 notes of the @rinternals{Voice} context called @var{name}, which must
397 already exist. Therefore normally the @code{Voice} is specified first, and
398 then the lyrics are specified with @code{\lyricsto}. The command
399 @code{\lyricsto} switches to @code{\lyricmode} mode automatically, so the
400 @code{\lyricmode} keyword may be omitted.
402 The following example uses different commands for entering lyrics.
404 @lilypond[quote,fragment,ragged-right,verbatim]
406 \new Voice = "one" \relative c'' {
409 c4 b8. a16 g4. f8 e4 d c2
411 \new Lyrics \lyricmode { Joy4 to8. the16 world!4. the8 Lord4 is come.2 }
412 \new Lyrics \lyricmode { Joy to the earth! the Sa -- viour reigns. }
413 \new Lyrics \lyricsto "one" { No more let sins and sor -- rows grow. }
417 The second stanza is not properly aligned because the durations
418 were not specified. A solution for that would be to use @code{\lyricsto}.
420 The @code{\addlyrics} command is actually just a convenient way
421 to write a more complicated LilyPond structure that sets up the
426 \addlyrics @{ LYRICS @}
433 \new Voice = "blah" @{ music @}
434 \new Lyrics \lyricsto "blah" @{ LYRICS @}
437 @node Manual syllable durations
438 @subsubsection Manual syllable durations
440 Lyrics can also be entered without @code{\addlyrics} or
441 @code{\lyricsto}. In this case,
442 syllables are entered like notes -- but with pitches replaced by text -- and the
443 duration of each syllable must be entered explicitly. For example:
450 The alignment to a melody can be specified with the
451 @code{associatedVoice} property,
454 \set associatedVoice = #"lala"
458 The value of the property (here: @code{"lala"}) should be the name of
459 a @rinternals{Voice} context. Without this setting, extender lines
460 will not be formatted properly.

512 @subsubsection Multiple notes to one syllable
516 @cindex phrasing, in lyrics
518 Sometimes, particularly in Medieval music, several notes are to be sung on one
519 single syllable; such vocalises are called melismas, or melismata.
521 @c this method seems to be the simplest; therefore
522 @c it might be better to present it first - vv
524 You can define melismata entirely in the lyrics, by entering @code{_}
526 that is part of the melisma.
528 @lilypond[relative=1,verbatim,fragment,quote]
529 { \set melismaBusyProperties = #'()
530 c d( e) f f( e) e e }
532 { Ky -- _ _ ri __ _ _ _ e }
535 In this case, you can also have ties and slurs in the melody if you
536 set @code{melismaBusyProperties}, as is done in the example above.
538 However, the @code{\lyricsto} command can also
539 detect melismata automatically: it only puts one
540 syllable under a tied or slurred group of notes. If you want to force
541 an unslurred group of notes to be a melisma, insert @code{\melisma}
542 after the first note of the group, and @code{\melismaEnd} after the

925 @code{ignoreMelismata} in the Lyrics context.
927 There is one tricky aspect: the setting for @code{ignoreMelismata}

962 More complex variations in text underlay are possible. It is possible
963 to switch the melody for a line of lyrics during the text. This is

1007 Ju -- ras -- sic Park
1012 The second stanza initially is set to the @code{lahlah} context, but
1013 for the syllable @q{ran}, it switches to a different melody.
1014 This is achieved with
1016 \set associatedVoice = alternative
1020 Here, @code{alternative} is the name of the @code{Voice} context
1021 containing the triplet.
1023 Again, the command must be one syllable too early, before @q{Ty} in
1027 \new Lyrics \lyricsto "lahlah" @{
1028 \set associatedVoice = alternative % applies to "ran"
1032 \set associatedVoice = lahlah % applies to "rus"
