2.1.4.2 Adding dynamics marks to stanzas

Stanzas differing in loudness may be indicated by putting a dynamics mark before each stanza. In LilyPond, everything coming in front of a stanza goes into the StanzaNumber object; dynamics marks are no different. For technical reasons, you have to set the stanza outside \lyricmode:

     
     text = {
       \set stanza = \markup { \dynamic "ff" "1. " }
       \lyricmode {
         Big bang
       }
     }
     
     <<
       \new Voice = "tune" {
         \time 3/4
         g'4 c'2
       }
     \new Lyrics \lyricsto "tune" \text
     >>
