Hello Joei, There are two small mistakes in your code:
\voices still requires you to to separate the Voices using \\, as you can see by comparing this \new Staff \voices 1,2,3 << { c' d' e'} a2. {c'4 b2} >> to this: \new Staff \voices 1,2,3 << { c' d' e'} \\ a2. \\ {c'4 b2} >> And second \lyricsto needs to be placed in some Lyrics context, so do \new Lyrics \lyricsto ... As a small remark: While \voices 1,2 << \global \sopI \\ \sopII >> does do the correct thing it might be easier to read to do << \global \voices 1,2 << \sopI \\ \sopII >> >> But that is a question of preference and philosophy. So the fixed code would be: \version "2.24.0" global = { \hide Staff.BarLine s1 s \undo \hide Staff.BarLine \bar "|." } sopI = \relative c'' { c1 c } sopII = \relative c' { f1 f } bass = \relative c'' { c1 c } words = \lyricmode { la la } \new StaffGroup << \new Staff { \voices 1,2<< \global \sopI \\ \sopII >> } \new Lyrics \lyricsto "2" \words \new Staff { << \global \bass >> } >> Cheers, Valentin Am Samstag, 11.
