Re: Lyrics above/below staff?

[Jérémie Lumbroso]

Hello John,

JP> For the most part, the one line of lyrics is uniform over all four parts. 
But in at least 
JP> one section of the music there are four different simultaneous lyrics. I'd 
like to put 
JP> the soprano part above the top staff, the alto below the top staff, the 
tenor above 
JP> the lower staff and the bass below the lower staff.  Placing the lyrics 
below the staff 
JP> is not a problem; I'm using \addlyrics.  Its getting the other lyrics above 
the staff that 
JP> is a problem for me.  Any ideas?

Simply  put  the  Lyrics  context  you  want above the staff
before the Staff context.

\score {
  <
    \addlyrics
      \context Lyrics \text
      \context Staff = one {
        \property Staff.noAutoBeaming = ##t
        \property Staff.automaticMelismata = ##t
        \melody
      }

  >
  \paper { }
  \midi  { }
}
