With the help of Giulio-Cesare files from Mutopia I
was able to find out that I had only 2 \addlyrics when
I should have had three. For those that may want to
have 2 different lyric staffs (or more), it is
basically:
\context StaffGroup = paminapapageno <
\context Staff = pamina { }
\context Lyrics = textA { }
\context Staff = papageno { }
\context Lyrics = textB { }
\addlyrics
\context Staff = pamina <
\property Staff.midiInstrument = #"synth voice"
\property Staff.instrument = "Pamina."
\property Staff.automaticMelismata = ##t
\clef treble
\context Voice=one \pamina >
\context Lyrics = textA { \textA }
\addlyrics
\context Staff = papageno <
\property Staff.midiInstrument = #"synth voice"
\property Staff.instrument = "Papageno."
\property Staff.automaticMelismata = ##t
\clef bass
\context Voice=one \papageno >
\context Lyrics = textB { \textB }
>
But I'm still trying to find out how to remove the
lines connecting the staffs. Everything in the docs
and other dir's I've tried and I can't get the
barlines (keeping measures) to go away. I only want to
remove the lines that connect the 2 staffs with lyrics
so that the lines do not interfere with the words.

Thanks Jan for answering regarding the cello-basso
staff combine problem. I had tried the file before
that you had mentioned but it doesn't work and I still
have problems with Coriolan. I understand that this is
a partcombine issue that you had discussed before and
that it's a post-1.6 issue. I'll gladly wait. Thanks
for your help all of you.
Deborah
