You're assuming wrongly:
melody = \relative c' {
c2 c | g2 g | c e4 f | g1 |
}
text = \lyricmode {
Play pi -- a -- no all day _ long.
}
\score {
\new PianoStaff <<
\new Staff = "up" { \new Voice = "melody" \key c \major \autochange \melody
}
\new Lyrics \lyricsto "melody" \text
\new Staff = "down" { \clef bass}
>>
}
The autochanger doesn't exactly match the layout you wanted: the third middle C
is notated in the left hand. For finer control you can make explicit staff
switches:
melody = \relative c' {
c2 c | \change Staff = "left" g2 g | \change Staff = "right" c e4 f | g1 |
}
text = \lyricmode {
Play pi -- a -- no all day _ long.
}
\score {
\new PianoStaff <<
\new Staff = "right" { \new Voice = "melody" \melody }
\new Lyrics \lyricsto "melody" \text
\new Staff = "left" { \clef bass s1*4 }
>>
}
Best wishes,
Matthew
