Next: Keyboard instruments, Up: Specialist notation
Since LilyPond input files are text, there are two issues to consider when working with vocal music:
d
should be interpreted as a one letter syllable,
not the note D.
To address the first issue, the fundamental method is the special mode
opened by \lyricmode
that interprets its contents as text.
This mode is implicit by some abbreviated methods, as we will see.
Aligning of text with melodies can be made automatically, but if you specify the durations of the syllables it can also be made manually. Lyrics aligning and typesetting are prepared with the help of skips, hyphens and extender lines.
All these methods and their combinations lead to a few different ways to define lyrics; we shall begin by examining the simplest method, and gradually increase complexity.
