13 Placing verses below the scores
16 Sometimes, particularly with songs that have a lot of verses,
17 you may want to put some verses of lyrics as blocks of
18 text below the music. Probably the easiest way to do this
19 is using
"print
" or
"paragraph
" statements inside
20 <A HREF=
"prnttext.html#block">a
"block."</A>
23 print (_win.w +
30, _win.n -
15)
"2.
"
25 Here is the first line
29 print (_win.w +
90, _win.n -
15)
"3.
"
31 Here is another verse's first line
38 You may need to use a little trial-and-error to determine the
39 coordinates to use on the print statements,
40 but you only have to determine one coordinate per verse,
41 and with a bit of practice it gets easier to find the right values.
42 Since the
"print
" statement is being used, the font and size will be
44 <A HREF=
"param.html#size">size parameter
</A>
46 <A HREF=
"param.html#font">font parameter,
</A>
48 <A HREF=
"param.html#lyrsize">lyricssize
</A>
50 <A HREF=
"param.html#lyrfont">lyricsfont.
</A>
53 If you also want chords symbols with these verses,
54 you can do that too. It is easiest if you use Courier font,
55 as shown in the example below, since its constant-width characters
56 make it easy to line things up. If you use a proportional-width font,
57 you will have to determine how to place the chords by trial and error.
59 print (_win.w +
50, _win.n -
35)
"3.
"
