Hi Colin
Sorry to top-post.
The quick solution is to name the first Lyrics context something like VerseOne
like this:
\new Lyrics = "VerseOne" \lyricsto "melody"
and specify that the second Lyrics context is positioned immediately beneath it
with
\new Lyrics \with { alignBelowContext = "VerseOne" }
leaving all the other lines unchanged.

Subject: Volta repeat with different lyrics places all words on lower staff
Hi everyone, I’m using ver 2.15.38 (since the 2.16 release isn’t out), and
being the first time I’ve used an unstable build I don’t know if this is a bug,
since there are no examples on the website that directly correspond.
I’m setting a piece for three voices with sections that repeat for the
purpose of the next verse. So what I want to have happen is (view with a
monospace font):
Top voice - - - - - - - |: - - - - - - - - - :|
Lyrics, blah blah blah First verse lyrics
Second verse lyrics
Middle voice - - - - - |: - - - - - - - - - :|
Lyrics, blah blah blah First verse lyrics
Second verse lyrics
Bottom voice - - - - - |: - - - - - - - - - :|
Lyrics, blah blah blah First verse lyrics
Second verse lyrics
Diligently following the instructions at
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.14/Documentation/notation/techniques-specific-to-lyrics#lyrics-and-repeats
, there is no trouble with a single-staff system as in the example, but adding
another voice causes all the text in the second verse to drop to the
bottom-most staff, like this:
Top voice - - - - - - - |: - - - - - - - - - :|
Lyrics, blah blah blah First verse lyrics
Middle voice - - - - - |: - - - - - - - - - :|
Lyrics, blah blah blah First verse lyrics
Bottom voice - - - - - |: - - - - - - - - - :|
Lyrics, blah blah blah First verse lyrics
Second verse lyrics
Second verse lyrics
Second verse lyrics
I have worked on this problem for days now, and I have no idea if I’m doing
something wrong or if this is a real bug. I could not find any examples that
dealt with volta repeats of different text with more than a single voice.
Please, please help!
Below is a small example with actual code (25 lines due to formatting).
Un-comment the commented lines to see the issue.
Thanks in advance for any assistance!
