Can anybody tell me exactly what happens with the context names in the
following example.
\relative c' <<
\new Staff \new Voice = myvoice { c d e f }
\new Staff \context Voice = myvoice { g f e d }
Is the Voice context in the
lower stave given some random unknown name?
I guess it is, since when you add lyrics they're aligned with the
first instanciation of "myvoice":
\relative c' <<
\new Staff \new Voice = myvoice { c d8 e f4 g8 f }
\new Staff \context Voice = myvoice { g8 f e d g4 f }
\new Lyrics \lyricsto "myvoice" \lyricmode { one two three four five six }
However, I do wonder how this context can be named internally...
My understanding is that the name given to a context is
stored internally as the context's id. You can display this
with the ly:context-id function. In the example above both
contexts have id set to "myvoice", as least that's what this
function returns.
I would guess that the lyrics attach to the first context
encountered which has a matching name.
Cheers,
Valentin
