2.1.1.2 Setting simple songs

The easiest way to add lyrics to a melody is to append

\addlyrics { the lyrics }

to a melody. Here is an example,

     
     \time 3/4
     \relative c' { c2 e4 g2. }
     \addlyrics { play the game }

More stanzas can be added by adding more \addlyrics sections

     
     \time 3/4
     \relative c' { c2 e4 g2. }
     \addlyrics { play the game }
     \addlyrics { speel het spel }
     \addlyrics { joue le jeu }

The command \addlyrics cannot handle polyphony settings. For these cases you should use \lyricsto and \lyricmode, as will be introduced in Entering lyrics.
