Hi folks,

I''m typesetting a piece of cornet music which requires the musician to sing every once in a while. However, each separate instance of lyrics (presumably in the same context comes out a line lower than the one before it. It's a bit hard to describe, so here's a cut down version of what I'm trying to do (I get the same result). I've defined the Lyrics context earlier in the piece and used it without any problems. It sits at the same height as does the first instance of my example here. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

\version "2.2.0"
\score{
\notes{
\relative c''{
\key bes \major
   \time 6/8
   \partial 8 f,8 | bes(d) f, bes(d) f, | bes( d4 )~ d4
       <<
           {ees8^"(Sing)" | d4 d8 c4 c8 | bes4.~bes4}
           { \context Lyrics \lyrics {A8 hunt4 -- ing8 we4 will8 go.4.}}
       >>
   f8 | bes(d) f, bes(d) f, | bes( d4 )~ d4
       <<
           {ees8^"(Sing)" | d4 d8 c4 c8 | bes4}
           { \context Lyrics \lyrics {A8 hunt4 -- ing8 we4 will8 go.4}}
       >>
       }}}
