2.1.4.3 Adding singers' names to stanzas

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 shortVocalName.

     
     \new Voice {
       \time 3/4 g2 e4 a2 f4 g2.
     } \addlyrics {
       \set vocalName = "Bert "
       Hi, my name is Bert.
     } \addlyrics {
       \set vocalName = "Ernie "
       Oh, ché -- ri, je t'aime
     }
