Re: Lyrics Problem

[Mats Bengtsson]

Basically, what you have to do is to provide a name to the corresponding
voice of music and then refer to that with \lyricsto, see the sections on
lyrics in the manual. In your example, it would look something like

mylyrics = \lyricmode{ Hi, here's some ly -- rics }

\score{
<<
 \new PianoStaff <<
   \new Staff {
      \clef treble \key f \major
      << \new Voice = trumpetI {\voiceOne \trumpetone} \\ \trumpettwo >>
   }
    \new Staff {
      \clef bass \key f \major
      << \tromboneone \\ \trombonetwo >>
   }
 >>
 \new Lyrics \lyricsto trumpetI \myLyrics
>>
}
