Re: odd choral score problem

[James Bailey]

I was afraid you would ask for this, so here goes:
my "soprano" file (shortened to just what would produce the error).
\version "2.10.0"
SopranoMusic=\relative
{
\key es \major
\time 5/2 b'2 b4 b c b b2 g |
as g4 f~ f es~ es d es2 |
b'2 b4 b c b b2 g |
as g4 f~ f es~ es d es2 |
\time 5/4 R1*5/4 |
\time 3/4 R1*3/4 |
\time 5/2 b'2 b4 b c b b2 g |
as g4 f~ f es~ es d es2 \bar "||"

R1*10/2
b'2 b4 b c b b2 g |
as g4 f~ f es~ es d es2 |
\time 5/4 R1*5/4 |
\time 3/4 R1*3/4 |
\time 5/2 b'2 b4 b c b b2 g |
as g4 f~ f es~ es d es2 \bar "||"
}

my "soprano lyrics" file (again, shortened to just what produced the  
error).

\version "2.8.8"
sopranolyrics=\lyricmode {
\set associatedVoice = #"SopranoMusic"
Lo,2 how4 a Rose e’er bloom2 -- ing from ten4 -- der2 stem hath4  
sprung!2
Of Jes4 -- se’s line -- age com2 -- ing, as men4 of2 old have4 sung.2
\skip 1*5/4 \skip 2. a2 -- mid4 the cold of win2 -- ter,
When half4 spent2 was the4 night.2

\skip 1*10/2

\skip 1*5/4 \skip 2. she2 bore4 to men a Sav2 -- ior,
When half4 spent2 was the4 night.2
}

my " closed score file. this is what has the problem

\version "2.10.0"
\include "deutsch.ly"
\include "01_soprano.ly"
\include "01_sopranolyrics.ly"
\score
{
\new ChoirStaff
<<
   \new Lyrics = sopranos { s1 }
   \new Staff = women <<\new Voice = "sopranos" { \voiceOne <<  
\SopranoMusic >> }
   \new Voice = "altos" { \voiceTwo <<  >> }
>>
\new Lyrics = "altos" { s1 }
\new Lyrics = "tenors" { s1 }
\new Staff = men
<<
   \clef bass
   \new Voice = "tenors" { \voiceOne  }
   \new Voice = "basses" { \voiceTwo  }
>>
\new Lyrics = basses { s1 }
\context Lyrics = sopranos \lyricsto sopranos \sopranolyrics
>>
}

and my "open score" file, this does not have the problem.

\include "deutsch.ly"
\include "01_soprano.ly"
\include "01_sopranolyrics.ly"
\score
{
\new ChoirStaff
<<
\new Staff \SopranoMusic
\new Lyrics \sopranolyrics
>>
}

I had to take out the references to the other parts in the open score  
version, becuase it generated erros.
