I'm currently creating many "piano reductions" of choral pieces (i.e. soprano and alto on one staff, tenor and bass on one staff), using part-combine for each of the two staves.
The piano staff should of course also get the lyrics (the piece is homophonic, so all four voices have basically the same lyrics), but part-combine creates different voices for a2 and for split parts. So, I'm currently fighting with the Devnull context to use the soprano music to align the syllables to (see http://kainhofer.com/~lilypond/ajax/user/lilypond/Specific-uses-of- lyrics.html#Lyrics-independent-of-notes) Unfortunately, however, the Devnull context makes the lyrics ignore all melismata (ties, slurs, etc.) as described there, too. Is there any way to align lyrics to an invisible voice that also uses melisma correctly? An example is attached. First, when the two voices are on separate staves, the lyrics are correct. However, when using part-combine, I'm using a Devnull context and all melismata are ignored, so the lyrics are positioned wrongly. (And no, in my case, there is no voice without melismata, that could be used for aligning).
