Thanks for your help!
This works fine:
\version "2.24.2"
\score {
\new StaffGroup <<
\new Staff = "soprano"
\new Voice = "S" {
\relative { c'4 d e f }
}
\new Lyrics {
\lyricsto "S" {
"1" "2" "3" "4"
}
}
\new Lyrics \with { alignAboveContext = "soprano" } {
\lyricsto "S" {
"1" "2" "3" "4"
}
}
>>
}
But when I try to place the instrument name, I get an error:
\version "2.24.2"
\score {
\new StaffGroup <<
\new Staff = "soprano" { \with { \override InstrumentName.self-alignment-X
= #RIGHT instrumentName = #"S. " } }
\new Voice = "S" {
\relative { c'4 d e f }
}
\new Lyrics {
\lyricsto "S" {
"1" "2" "3" "4"
}
}
\new Lyrics \with { alignAboveContext = "soprano" } {
\lyricsto "S" {
"1" "2" "3" "4"
}
}

}
