Hello Carl, it seems nobody answered you a few weeks ago...

I'd like to set some single-note beginning piano music for my daughter, and want to make a piano staff with lyrics between the two staves.
This is really easy; the only thing you needed to remember is that lyrics can only be applied to a Voice context. Besides, you had many useless things in your snippet, but I guess you will add some notes as you daughter progress :) Here is your 'favorite things' snippet, ready to be played.
