No, it just means that your lyrics have to follow the staff rather than a single voice unless your lyrics split as well. Can't find the issue number where this was made to work. Still has problems with overlapping melismata if I remember correctly, so maybe that's why it's not advertised prominently. -- David Kastrup _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
