Hello, I don't understand why this results in the output it does. I wanted to have the second voice instantiated in the beginning because it is used later and I would like to have the lyrics align vertically. Alternatively, I thought to use \addlyrics after each little section of lyrics, but the polyphony is skewed after that. Is the only possibility to use spacer rests?
