Re: add lyrics - organize score

[Mats Bengtsson]

It's good that you don't send long examples, but please send complete
examples that people can try directly, without having to fill in a lot
of empty slots.

I don't have the time to fill in notes in your example to try it
myself, but one hint would be to expicitly specify the Staff
contexts you want. Now, you specify Voice contexts and it's not
obvious to me how these end up in the same or in different staves.

Another hint is to learn to use the \lyricsto feature instead of
\addlyrics. It offers much more flexibility.
