Re: Multiple verses in Noteedit problem

[Mats Bengtsson]

The easiest solution is probably to replace

StaffAText = \lyrics {
        \simultaneous {
                {
                        This is verse one  _ }
                {
                        And Verse Two is me }
                }
}


with

StaffAText = \lyrics {
        \simultaneous {
                \new Lyrics {
                        This is verse one  _ }
                \new Lyrics {
                        And Verse Two is me }
                }
}

Optionally, you could then also replace the
\context Lyrics="StaffAText" \StaffAText
with just
\StaffAText

As a next step, I would recommend to replace the \addlyrics with
\lyricsto, but then you have to name the Voice, not the Staff.
I'm not sure how Noteedit handles multiple voices in a Staff, but
in your example it can be done by

\score {
        \simultaneous {
                \set Score.skipBars = ##t
		\set Score.melismaBusyProperties = #'(melismaBusy slurMelismaBusy 
tieMelismaBusy)
                \context Voice="StaffA" \StaffA
                \lyricsto "StaffA" \StaffAText
        }
