Hello Maurits, I recognized the problem and I knew it had to do with the way you define your staffs and your lyrics. So, I rearranged it a little bit and that works. The way I read the documentation, the lyrics should be created outside the staff context. and you defined, as far as I could see it, a Voice context and a lyrics context in a Voice; I'am amazed it worked anyway in the original situation
Have fun!
