Re: systems overlapping & lyrics

[Rodolfo W . Zitellini]

OK, I downgraded to 2.2 and everything works great!
Thanks!
BTW I now have some attaching lyrics to the music.
I define all my music and lyrics using voicex = \notes {} and lyricx = 
\lyrics {}
in an separate file for every part. Than I recall all parts in a 
top-level file
with the \score context. I browsed the manual to find information on 
lyrics, and it says to use
\lyricsto. But \lyricsto wants I voice specified, so I also create a 
\context voice for the staff.
It looks like this:
        \context Voice = canto { \staffH }
        \context Lyrics = canto { s1 }

        \context Lyrics = canto \lyricsto sopranos \cantoI

where staffH = \notes {} and cantoI = ÷lyrics {}
Using this method I get two staves, one empty and one containing the 
music,
nut no lyrics.
I also tried using a \context Lyrucs =canto \cantoI after \staffH in my 
\score, and I get the
lyrics correctly aligned with the music, the stems of the corresponding 
notes do not get separated on
the same syllable.
Thanks again,
Rodolfo
