Fixing up my reply... spotted that I had a difference between the name I gave to the staff and the reference to it in the alignAboveContext. Both have now been synchronised to "sopranoStaff" below On 21 Apr 2024, at 18:46, Hans Aikema <hans.aik...@aikebah.net> wrote:

I read as you suggested but didn't find the way. Here is hte piece of score code: \score{ \new StaffGroup << \new Staff \with { midiInstrument = "choir aahs" instrumentName = "Soprani" } { \soprano } \addlyrics {\sopranoVerse_sup} \addlyrics { \sopranoVerse_ru } \addlyrics { \sopranoVerse }
You can’t use the \addlyrics shortcut when you want to place the lyrics above the staff. You’ll have to use the \new Lyrics construct (as shown in the notation manual) for those lyrics.
\score{ \new StaffGroup << \new Staff = "sopranoStaff" \with { midiInstrument = "choir aahs" instrumentName = "Soprani" } { \new Voice = "sopranoVoice" { \soprano } } \new Lyrics \with { alignAboveContext = "sopStaff" } { \lyricsto "sopranoVoice" \sopranoVerse_sup } \new Lyrics \lyricsto "sopranoVoice" \sopranoVerse_ru \new Lyrics \lyricsto "sopranoVoice" \sopranoVerse
Should do the trick if I didn’t mess up the syntax (cannot validate as you provided only the opening snippet, but the transition from \addlyrics to \new Lyrics is required to specify the alignAboveContext)
\addlyrics is very limited in customisation power, it’s a shorthand for creating the new Lyrics to the preceding voice (the music in between the braces ( {\soprano} ) implicitly creates an unnamed voice. In order to be able to use the \new Lyrics you also need to explicitly create the voice and give it a name to be able to reference it using the \lyricsto
all the three texts are printed under soprano staff. But what i need is \sopranoVerse_sup printed over the soprano staff since there are two voices (sop I and II) and the don't sing the same text. Amy idea? the alignabovecontext Staff won't work inside \addlyrics tx for your attention Gian Paolo

Hi, i have a question: ho can i add a 5th voice (for soprano) in a SATB choral work. The 4 voices are all under the staff. I need the fifth one to be over the Soprano staff while the second soprano voices sings the part under the staff. See attached image. Thank you.
For your score you would put two voices (Solo and Sopranos) in the Sopranos staff
The preferred way is by coding the '\with { alignAboveContext = “<name of the staff>” }` to the Lyrics assigned to the Solo in your piece.
