Thanks for your reply. What you have described below does work. I got mine working as well as a result. To use your example this is the broken version of my file (which usually works for a single lyric line):
> meloA = \notes { f'4 g'4 a'2 } > txtA = \lyrics { foo bar baz } > meloB = \notes { c'2 d'4 e'4 } > txtB = \lyrics { boo far faz } > \score { > \notes < > \addlyrics > \context Staff = stafA \meloA > \context Lyrics \txtA Note the lack of a Lyrics label on the above line > \addlyrics > \context Staff = stafB \meloB > \context Lyrics \txtB Similarly here... > > > } Can you explain why this doesn't work? It doesn't seem to make much sense at present Thanks. Russell.
