Re: odd choral score problem

[Mats Bengtsson]

It seems that you use the \lyricsto feature in your "closed score" file but
not in the "open score" file. Since you have taken the effort to specify 
the
durations explicitly in your lyrics part, I guess you could just as well
skip the \lyricsto feature also in the "closed score". However, you may want
to set the associateVoice property to get better alignment to the note 
heads,
see "Another way of entering lyrics" in the manual.
