References for vocal music and lyrics
Various issues may arise when engraving vocal music. Some of these
are discussed in this section, while others are explained elsewhere:
- Most styles of vocal music use written text as lyrics. An introduction
to this notation is to be found in Setting simple songs.
- Vocal music is likely to require the use of
markup
mode, either
for lyrics of for other text elements (character's names, etc.).
This syntax is described in Text markup introduction.
- Lead sheets may be printed by combining vocal parts and ‘chord mode’;
this syntax is explained in Chord notation.
- ‘Ambitus’ may be added at the beginning of vocal staves, as explained
in Ambitus.
- Vocal parts may be printed using traditional clefs, as shown in Clef.
- Ancient vocal music is supported, as explained in Ancient notation.
