Hi again,

I am trying to do the following for a soprano line that splits (div) 2x
and the second division has each part singing different lyrics with
different melisma.

I wonder if the following setup will work as I have yet to have success:

sopOneMusic \context Voice = "sopranoOne" { s1*14 one or two notes at the
second division with silence filling all bars on either side s*14 }

sopOneWords \lyricmode { words at the second division - really only one
vowel held for a few beats }

sopTwoMusic \context Voice = sopranoTwo" { all unison and second
soprano parts including both soprano parts at first division }

sopTwoWords \lyricmode { all unison and second soprano words except for at the 
2nd division }

altoMusic etc...

altoWords etc...

---

other parts (five percussion and piano (two hands)

---

\score { <<
        \context ChoirStaff <<
                \context Lyrics = sopranoOne \lyricsto sopranoOne \new Lyrics
                        \sopOneWords
                \context Staff = soprano 
                \context Voice = sopranoOne
                        { \voiceOne \sopOneMusic }
                \context Voice = sopranoTwo
                        { \set Staff.printKeyCancellation = ##f \set
                        Staff.instrument = " Soprano " \set Staff.instr = " Sop
                        " \voiceTwo \sopTwoMusic }
                \context Lyrics = sopranoTwo \lyricsto sopranoTwo \new
                        Lyrics \sopTwoWords
                \context Voice = alto
                        { \set Staff.printKeyCancellation = ##f \set
                        Staff.instrument = " Alto " \set Staff.instr = "
                        Alt " \altoMusic }
                \context Lyrics = alto \lyricsto alto \new Lyrics
                        \altoWords
        >>

percussion and piano here

        >>


Everything prints out pretty well except that the sopOneWords, which I
hoped would print above the staff very briefly (only for a few beats at
the second div) don't show up.

I am guessing that I am missing some syntax somewhere.


Version 2.6.3 Debian "testing" here.


Thanks again for any help,

Sterling MacNay
