OK Stan,tryingsomething a bit different http://www.joe-offer.com/folkinfo/songs/578.html The first thing I notice is I don’t understand the \relative bit (at least not yet) and wonder if that is the best way. I have to raise the first note in the second line by an octave or things start to go low from that point... Do I really have to put the flats in each time or am I missing something? Notes are coming out as naturals if I don’t. It’s not immediately apparent to me how to display the time as 4/4 or how to change the beaming to match what I’m trying to copy. \version "2.18.2" \header { encodingdate = "2018-06-19" title = "Marianina" subtitle = " "} voicedefault = \relative ees' { \key ees \major \time 4/4 bes4. g8 c c bes bes | aes4. f8 d4 r |\break c'4. aes8 d d c c | bes4. g8 ees4 r |\break } \addlyrics { O'er the o -- cean flies a mer -- ry fay, As she pass -- es all the blue waves say } \score{ << \context Staff="default" { \voicedefault } >> \layout { } \midi {} }
