The troubles you are seeing are all very strange. How do you inst
Hi all,
I tried that, without any success. It doesn't seem to matter where or
when I declare the lyrics context, it just fails.
my code looks now like this:

\notes \relative c' {
\key g \major
\context Lyrics = stemeenlyrics { s1 }

First of all, I recommend you to upgrade to the latest stable version,
just run the setup.exe and it will automatically upgrade the packages
where newer versions are available. Then, read in the manual on how
to use convert-ly to update your input files to the syntax changes.
Unfortunately, the bug
The trick of using \repeat fold is an undocumented feature that
only works well in very simple examples. For example, if you
try use the same trick also for separate lines of lyrics for
soprano, tenor or bass, it will fail completely. Another problem
is what you have noted.
Also, you have looked at
Maybe it's a problem with terminology. A Staff context corresponds
to what's printed on one stave of the score, i.e. it can basically
just contain voices of music. Between the staves, you can have one
or more lines of lyrics, which are handled by the Lyrics contexts,
but they are not part of the St
That probably is it. I think it also has to do with my approach of lyrics as a
choir singer. I think of lyrics belonging to a staff or to a melody. Since a
Voice context is part of the Staff context, I assume that the lyrics belonging
to that voice need to belong to the Staff too. Musically they ar

IMHO, in the general case they belong to a voice, not to a staff. In
some "special cases" (actually, in some very common cases), e.g. one
voice per staff or the same rythm in all voices on a staff, this is
equivalent to thei
Yes, you're absolutely right.
About your conclusion that " the lyrics *are* part of the description
of how vocal music is to be sung" I would even be more sincere:
There is no music without the lyrics. The music that is above it is
only a rythmic and melodic description on how the lyrics have to

To have the lyrics with the voice on the staff, the appropriate
syllable could be printed immediately before or after the note
on the same line or space. You could manage that by coding the
lyrics as if th
I have this sheet of music with the following set-up:

In pure essence I get it right on the paper, however the chords are
below the music (violin staff, above the bass staff) just above the lyrics.
What I'd like most however is to have the chords above th

Thanks to the sample files, the documentation, and the helpful advice
here I have finally completed a template that makes it (relatively) easy
to enter four-part harmony vocal music where the harmony parts don't
always sing the same words as the lead (melody).
The template is here:

Maybe my answer is very silly, but have you tried to change the order of music, lyrics
and chords in
your script ? I've done this with bass and its figures to have the figures above and
not under the
staff.
