Next: Printing stanzas at the end in multiple columns, Previous: Stanzas with different rhythms, Up: Stanzas
Sometimes it is appropriate to have one stanza set
to the music, and the rest added in verse form at
the end of the piece. This can be accomplished by adding
the extra verses into a \markup
section outside
of the main score block. Notice that there are two
different ways to force linebreaks when using
\markup
.
melody = \relative c' { e d c d | e e e e | d d e d | c1 | } text = \lyricmode { \set stanza = "1." Ma- ry had a lit- tle lamb, its fleece was white as snow. } \score{ << \new Voice = "one" { \melody } \new Lyrics \lyricsto "one" \text >> \layout { } } \markup { \column{ \line{ Verse 2. } \line{ All the children laughed and played } \line{ To see a lamb at school. } } } \markup{ \wordwrap-string #" Verse 3. Mary took it home again, It was against the rule." }
