Hi Jogchum,
I would try 2 variants:
1. Remove the short one voice period and have that segment in both
voices. Use the merge rest engraver to merge the duplicated rests.
Yes, this works; didn't know the merge rest engraver.
2. Around line 35 you have another \new Voice="alto1". At least
conceptually this seems wrong as you want to reuse the existing voice.
Therefore I'd write \context Voice="alto1" instead though I'm not sure
it actually makes a difference.
It doesn't, but you are right. Didn't know the \context Voice= construct.
Thanks! cheers, Jogchum
Kind regards,
Michael

Hi, With the help on this list, I learned to use the "\set
associatedVoice = "-construct to place lyrics correct in bars with
split voices. I frequently use it, and it always works. Except in
this case, where the split voice bar is preceded by a bar rest. I
add two examples, in which the problem manifests itself in bar 9
and 10. In Lyrics_divisi.ly, I circumvented the problem by
replacing the rests with g2, and add "bla bla bla"as text. It is
rendered as wanted. In lyrics_divisi_b.ly, the problem appears
when I fill bar 9 and the first half of bar 10 with rests. Now the
text is not rendered correctly. I've tried a number of variants to
get the result I want, but so far I don't see a solution. But I'm
convinced there is one. Anyone who can shed some light on this?
Would be very grateful (again...)! cheers, Jogchum
