2.3.1 Setting simple songs
Music Glossary: lyrics.
Here is the start of the melody to a nursery rhyme, Girls and boys come out to play:
\relative c'' {
\key g \major
\time 6/8
d4 b8 c4 a8 | d4 b8 g4
}
The lyrics can be set to these notes, combining both
with the \addlyrics keyword. Lyrics are entered by
separating each syllable with a space.
<<
\relative c'' {
\key g \major
\time 6/8
d4 b8 c4 a8 | d4 b8 g4
}
\addlyrics {
Girls and boys come | out to play,
}
>>
Note: It is essential that the final syllable is separated from the terminating curly bracket by a space or a newline, or it will be assumed to be part of the syllable, giving rise to an obscure error, see Apparent error in ../ly/init.ly.
Note the double angle brackets << ... >> around the
whole piece to show that the music and lyrics are to occur at the
same time.
