Jean-Charles,
I don't understand how Lyrics work in LilyPond or what your last
paragraph means (it is meaningless to me, sorry - I play trumpet, I
don't sing, so never need to read or use lyrics in a score)
I was hoping that you could give me a texidoc string I could simply
copy.paste into the example at
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-user/2012-03/msg00508.html
Then I can create a snippet from that. I can't articulate it myself.
Please find enclosed a draft. It is much less complicated than what
Keith O'Hara provided in
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-user/2010-12/msg00674.html
which might help you understand what singers might read.
You'll see what I mean by commenting the layout overrides.
Cheers,
Jean-Charles
ps: forgot the file!
\version "2.14.0"
texidoc = " The space engine preserves by default the space for the
empty sections of lyrics, so that the lines remain consistently spaced.
When you want to use a separate @code{Voice} context for each
singer, even though the melodies usually don't overlap, you might want
to let interrupted lyrics collapse to a single line.
The layout overrides may still be useful for scores where there is
occasional small overlap between the voices, though.
In order to easily identify who sings, one of the lyrics may be
displayed in italics.
