Re: LyricExtender again!

[Mats Bengtsson]

In your example, you had forgotten to name the Voice context. Just 
replace the
first line by
Voice = \new Voice = notes { c4 d8 d e4~ e }
and it seems to work as desired.

Another approach is to use the alignAboveContext property:
\score {
<<

\new Staff = myStave \relative c'{

\Voice

}
\new Lyrics \with {alignAboveContext = myStave } { \set associatedVoice 
= "notes" \Words } % above

\new Lyrics { \set associatedVoice = "notes" \Words } % below
>>
}

Finally, I noticed that you didn't use the support for hyphens in 
lyrics. Try
Words = \lyricmode { This4 does8 --  n't work4 __  " "}
to get a nicer result.
