Re: simple change moves lyrics???

[Amelie Zapf]

Hi Brian,

concerning your compile problem: can you send a piece of code to reproduce 
the error on?

This staff thing is pretty straightforward.

- a staff is a line of music not bracketed with anything.
- a choir staff is several lines bracketed together with
  a [ style bracket, but with the bar lines not intercon-
  nected between lines.
- a staff group is just like choir staff, except the bar
  lines are connected.
- a piano staff is two lines connected with a curly {
  bracket. Switching between lines is easy, bar lines run
  through.

Here's score instructions from one of my files. Note how the first staff gets 
the tag \context Lyrics = bottom. That means, below the first staff. Top 
would do the opposite. All the other staffs get a tag \context Lyrics = 
<astaffname>. That causes lyrics to be printed under the mentioned staff with 
the time bookkeeping taken from the \addlyrics assignment. Even the 
pathological is possible. Maybe you can take it from there:

Key = \notes \key f \major
 
\score {
    \context ChoirStaff = chorus <
        \context Staff = highTenors <
            \property Staff.instrument = "Tenor I"
            \property Staff.instr = "T I"
            \property Staff.midiInstrument = "alto sax"
            \property Staff.automaticMelismata = ##t
            \Key
            \clef "G_8"
            \addlyrics
            \context Voice = tenorOne {\voiceOne \tenorOneVoice}
            \context Lyrics = bottom \tenorTwoLyrics
            \context Voice = tenorTwo {\voiceTwo \tenorTwoVoice}

The New Testament offers the basis for modern computer coding theory,
in the form of an affirmation of the binary number system.

        But let your communication be Yea, yea; nay, nay: for
        whatsoever is more than these cometh of evil.
                -- Matthew 5:37
