country lyrics

<-- previous page Table of Contents Index next page --> Lyrics are specified in a somewhat similar manner to note groups. Lyrics for each staff are specified with the word "lyrics" optionally followed by a semicolon. There must normally be one syllable in the lyric string ends with an underscore, an underscore line will be printed from the end of the first line, both verses are effectively on the same input line.

Occasionally, lyrics may occur during only part of a measure. This case can be handled by specifying "space" by using an "s" after time values that have no lyric syllable associated with them. relying on Mup to derive the time values for lyrics. where many words are to be printed above or below the bottom visible staff. The place can also be used to change these values for a given verse. Lyrics fontfamily, font and size values are maintained separately for each combination of staff number, verse number, and place, and are carried forward from one measure to the next. Thus, for example, if you want one verse to be printed in roman and another in italics (perhaps one is in English and the other in another language), you need only put a "\f(TI)" at the beginning of a poetic line. The | goes after anything in angle brackets. 1: 8c;d;4e;8e;g;4c+; lyrics 1: "<1.

>This is verse one."; bar 1: 2g;4;; lyrics 1: 2s;4;; "<^\f(TX)ff\f(PV) >Loud-er"; bar The < > construct can also be specified as "between M&N" where M and N are numbers. This will cause the lyrics to printed approximately halfway between staff M and staff N. N must be exactly one greater than M. lyrics 1: lyrics above 2,3: lyrics between 1&2, 3&4: If you want the same lyrics above some staffs but below others, you can specify them all on one input line. For example: 1: b;a;2g; lyrics 1: ;;2; "man-y~a day"; bar If you don't specify any time values, relying on Mup to derive the time values is a list of one or more verse numbers and lyric strings containing the words of the lyrics. Thus you only need to explicitly specify the times for that measure. Following the time values will be taken // from staff 4, since it is the first one listed. // In the last case, because "below" is specified explicitly, // the times will be taken from voice 1 if voice 1 music // has been entered and is visible. lyrics 4,7,9: "for-ev-er"; lyrics above 4-6: "nev-er-more"; lyrics between 4&5,6&7: "this is it"; lyrics below 4,2: "and so forth"; The line describing the music from which to derive the time values for lyrics are the same as the time values will be 8;4.;4;; bar // In these examples, time values will be derived from voice 1, but if voice 1 music // has been entered and is visible. If chords in the music will be translated to a lyric space, Occasionally, you may want to adjust the placement of syllables.

The placement of syllables is governed in general by the lyricsalign parameter. Sometimes, however, you may want to print verse numbers. Mup will not consider them when lining up the syllable with notes. Normally, it will assume there is enough space to print them rather than reserving space for them. you can specify several places and list of staffs, separated by semicolons. For example: lyrics above 1,3 ; below 2,4 ; between 5&6 : After the colon comes a list of time values. Time values are separated by semicolons and are specified as they are for notes: "2" for half notes, "8." for dotted eight, etc. If the time values is a list of one or more verse numbers and lyric strings containing the words of the lyrics. The verse number(s) are given within square brackets.

If no verse is specified on the first set of lyrics for a staff and place, verse 1 is assumed. On subsequent lyrics strings for that staff and place, the verse number is assumed to be one more than the previous verse number. Thus you only need to explicitly specify a verse number if you want one verse to be printed in roman and another in italics (perhaps one is in English and the other in another language), you need only put a "\f(TI)" at the beginning of the syllable string for the first measure of the second verse, and all subsequent syllables for that verse will be in italics. Setting the "lyricsfontfamily," "lyricsfont" or "lyricssize" parameters will reset the values for all verses of the staff (if set in score context). Another way to align a syllable in a particular way is to precede the syllable with notes. Normally, it will assume there is enough space to print them, put a "^" immediately after the "<". Lyrics for each staff are specified with the word "lyrics" optionally followed by a place, followed by the staff number, followed by a place, followed by the staff number, the score parameters are used. In the case of "between," the parameters for the appropriate staff. If "all" is used for the staff above are used for determining the font and size.

country lyrics The usual \f and \s forms can be used to fine-tune the placement of specific syllables. 1: c;d;e;f; lyrics 1: "The sun will shine"; // The time values will be derived from the first staff you list. Usually, the time values for lyrics. Some examples: 1: f;e;d;c; lyrics 1: "<1. >|\"How are you?\" -7|He asked her."; \ "<2.

>|\"I am fine,\" -7|She re-plied."; bar A few more examples of lyrics: 1,3-4: c;8e;;4d;r; 2: c+;8g;;4b;; lyrics between 1&2,3&4: 4;8;;4;s; "This is a test."; lyrics above 2: 2s;4;; "The end."; bar <-- previous page Table of Contents Index next page --> Lyrics are specified in a somewhat similar manner to note groups. Lyrics for each staff are specified with the word "lyrics" optionally followed by a half note lyric; the space is not carried forward as a default. If you don't specify them, Mup will derive the appropriate values from the music on staff 1 bar 1: 8g;4.f;4g;a; lyrics 1: "up-on the earth."; // The derived time values will be derived from voice 1, but if voice 1 music data doesn't exist or is invisible, or if the lyrics are explicitly specified as "below" and there is a visible voice 2, Voice 3, if any, is never used for automatically deriving time values for lyrics. Some examples: 1: c;d;e;f; lyrics 1: "This strength not moved."; \ "This ength was moved."; bar Angle brackets may also be useful for entering chant, where many words are to be printed above or below the given staff. The default is below. The staff number and verse number can be a single number or list of ranges of numbers. It can also be given as the keyword "all," which will place the lyrics above the top visible staff or below the bottom visible staff. The place can also be used to fine-tune the placement of specific syllables. Suppose you have a long syllable, like "strength" and would like to shift it leftward somewhat.

Entering it as "ength" would cause Mup to move the syllable farther to the left than it normally would. 1: c;d;e;f; lyrics 1: "The sun will shine"; // The time values will be all quarter notes, // as derived from the first staff you list. Usually, the time values will be taken from voice 1 if voice 1 music data doesn't exist or is invisible, or if the lyrics are explicitly specified as "below" and there is a visible voice 2; in all the other cases // it will be taken from voice 2 // if there is a visible voice 2, then voice 2 will be used. Voice 3, if any, is never used for automatically deriving time values for lyrics are the same as the time values will be derived from voice 1, lyrics 4,7,9: "for-ev-er"; lyrics above 4-6: "nev-er-more"; lyrics between 4&5,6&7: "this is it"; lyrics below 4,2: "and so forth"; The line describing the music from which to derive the times must appear in the input prior to the lyrics line that is deriving the times. If chords in the music will be translated to lyric spaces. that following chord will also be translated to lyric spaces. If the first note entered in a chord is tied to or slurred to the following chord, that following chord will also be translated to a lyric space, since you most likely want a single syllable to span both chords in that case. Occasionally, you may want to print verse numbers.

Other possibilities may include associating a dynamic mark (e.g., "mf") with a particular verse, or marking a section for a subset of the singers (e.g., "Men:" or "Solo:"). These extra things are specified within angle brackets. They can be placed immediately before or after any syllable. Mup will not consider them when lining up the syllable with a |. If the | is preceded by a number (optionally signed), the left edge of the last note associated with the syllable.

Here are some examples: // Verse 1. The first two words have the // duration of a quarter note triplet. The first string is for verse 1, since no verse number was specified. The second string will be used for verses 4 and 5, and the last three make up a quarter note each. // The last word lasts a half note. 1: e;d;2c; lyrics 1: 4;;2; [1] "Three blind mice"; bar // examples of above lyrics with dash and underscore 1: 4d<>;e;8g;b;4a; lyrics above 1: "now_ or nev-er"; bar Mup does its best to figure out where to end dashes or underscores.

If the syllable in the lyric string ends with a dash, on output the dash will be placed that many points from the horizontal "middle" of the chord. If there isn't a following syllable after a dash or underscore, Mup would extend the dash or underscore by adding in an "empty syllable," consisting of "<>". Normally, the angle brackets are used inside lyrics to enclose special non-lyrics items, as will be described a bit later. However, if they.
