5.11 Vocal music

There are three different issues when printing vocal music

• Song texts must be entered as texts, not notes. For example, the input d should be interpreted as a one letter syllable, not the note D.
• Song texts must be printed as text, not as notes.
• Song texts must be aligned with the notes of their melody

The simplest solution to printing music uses the \addlyrics function to solve all these problems at once. However, these three functions can be controlled separately, which is necessary for complex vocal music.

• Setting simple songs
• Entering lyrics
• Hyphens and extenders
• The Lyrics context
• Flexibility in alignment
• More stanzas
• Ambitus
