Notation. > There I could not find the "Polyphony with shared lyrics" you mention > (using the 2.22.1 version of the documentation). Perhaps a PDF viewer with a search function would help. Until then: 2.22.1 2.23.2 page page section 267 279 § 2.1.1 269 281 "Aligning lyrics to a melody" 273 285 "Using associatedVoice" 275 287 "Multiple notes to one syllable" 296 308 "Divisi lyrics" 297 309 "Polyphony with shared lyrics" > I use Frescobaldi for coding, and then your example does not fit > there, I think. I don't understand your use of "fit". I've seen examples of Frescobaldi screenshots with NullVoice in the source. Or do you mean that you can't edit c4 into c8~c in Frescobaldi? > In any case, the solution of Guy presented above works > fine for me, so for now I'm fine. Cheers, David.
