the source in http://www.lilypond.org/doc/v2.17/Documentation/snippets/vocal-music#vocal-music-vertically-centered-common-lyrics starts with
\include "english.ly" leftbrace = \markup { \override #'(font-encoding . fetaBraces) \lookup #"brace240" } rightbrace = \markup { \rotate #180 \leftbrace } I think these lines should be skipped since neither English note names nor left braces are used afterwards (or the leftbrace and rightbrace should be used!) and I object to the 1st sentence: "In a vocal piece where there are several (two,four or more) lines of lyrics, and common lyrics for all voices at some point, these common lyrics may be vertically centered regardingly, as shown in the following example:" no (vertical) centering is done - it just positions the line with extra-offset 5 spaces lower. it would be nice to have such a centering function, taking into account the number of stanzas, the \verticalAxisGroup values and maybe some more...
