Exporting lyrics to MusicXML

halvorlu commented 8 years ago

I'm trying to export some vocal music to MusicXML, but I cannot seem to get any lyrics exported to the MusicXML file. From the source code it seems that it should be possible. A simple example file test.ly could be

\version "2.18.2"
\relative { d''8 c16 a bes8 f ees' d c4 }
\addlyrics { „Schad’ um das schö -- ne grü -- ne Band, }

ly musicxml test.ly only outputs the music, not the lyrics. Is lyrics export possible, and if so, how?

\lyricsto has some support but I don't think support for \addlyrics has been implemented yet...

Is there an example to tell how to use lyricsto? This,

\version "2.18.2"
<<
\new Voice = "2"  { a'4. g'8 e'4 g'4 | d'4 e'4 d'2 }
\new Lyrics \lyricsto "2" { ha i jie ke el em ne }
>>

prints a good pdf with lilypond, but ly musicxml produces the following:
