Hello, thanks for jumping in. Devnull was new to me. I tried, and the notes are invisible, leaving no gap. Very fine so far. But every single syllable leads to a warning "lyric syllable does not have note" and the lyrics still are out of sync. Some syllables even get completely lost. Either ties are ignored or maybe every syllable is simply regarded as a quarter note which is quite useless.
In section "Lyrics independent of notes" the docs say "Connecting lyrics to a Devnull context makes the voice/lyrics links to get lost". well, that's what happens. The connection also gets lost when I make the notes invisible by removing the engravers, especially the note-head engraver. So I think I will have to play around with transparency and try to eliminate the gap that is left by the transparent notes.
