Re: LyricExtender again!

Mats et al,
Sorry, but this doesn't work on my Lilypond (2.10.0) The LyricExtender is still missing when the lyrics are printed above the staff, and is present when I print them below.
I suggest this is a bug, but would like to make sure before forwarding it to bug-lilypond.
Best,
Vivian.

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.
