| 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> | |
| 21 | <BR><PRE> | |
| 22 | block | |
| 23 | print (_win.w + 30, _win.n - 15) "2. " | |
| 24 | print "\ | |
| 25 | Here is the first line | |
| 26 | and the second line | |
| 27 | and the third line. | |
| 28 | " | |
| 29 | print (_win.w + 90, _win.n - 15) "3. " | |
| 30 | print "\ | |
| 31 | Here is another verse's first line | |
| 32 | and its second line | |
| 33 | and its third line. | |
| 34 | " | |

| 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 | |
| 43 | determined by the | |
| 44 | <A HREF="param.html#size">size parameter</A> | |
| 45 | and | |
| 46 | <A HREF="param.html#font">font parameter,</A> | |
| 47 | rather than by | |
| 48 | <A HREF="param.html#lyrsize">lyricssize</A> | |
| 49 | and | |
| 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. " | |
| 60 | print "\f(CR)\ | |
| 61 | C D7 G7 | |
| 62 | This is the first line | |
| 63 | C F | |
| 64 | of the next verse | |
| 65 | B\(smflat) | |
| 66 | of the song. | |
