Hello,

Continuing from a previous example, I have been instructed to use
'associatedVoice' instead of \lyricsto to avoid problem with the
continuation of the melody after the lyrics have ended.

But now I run into a peculiar problem: If more complex melodies are
used, the alignment of lyrics does not work.

Example (also tested with 2.15.16):

\version "2.14.2"

\new Staff {
        \new Voice = "melody" \relative {
                a'1
                <<
                \context Voice = "melody" {
                b4. b8 b4. b8
                }
                \context Lyrics = "lyr" \with {associatedVoice = "melody"}
\lyricmode { A B C D }
                %\new Lyrics \lyricsto "melody" { A B C D }
                >>
                e1 f1
        }
}

If I use 'associatedVoice', lyrics A, B and C are printed below the
first note, over each other. D is printed below the second note. This
does not happen if only quarter notes are used in the melody.

\lyricsto works fine, but for reasons pointed out earlier, does not
correctly allow the melody e1 f1 to continue after the lyrics.

Thanks for your consideration,

Christian
