I'm just starting to play with lp by working on a hymn. The format is upper
and lower piano staves with the verses in the middle. I was using chords for
the upper and lower until I came to a place where I had two 8th notes in the
soprano over a 1/4 in the alto. I don't know if it's the best way, but I
found a way to do it. The problem is that I can't get a lyric to print under
those notes. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
