Re: set associatedVoice and disappearing lyrics

[Mats Bengtsson]

This seems like exactly the same situation as in
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-user/2007-11/msg00468.html
namely that the voice you change to has an extra note during the duration
of the note in the voice you are changing from. This is in some sense
logical, since what the command  does is "change to the other voice after
the beginning of the next note in the current voice". This is clearly an
annoyance, but the workaround is very simple, as is described in the
cited email, namely to add an empty syllable to match the extra note.
