Re: Positioning of lyrics

[Morten Lemvigh]

Thanks, it makes sence! But when I tried to apply it to the larger 
piece, i got this:
programming error: Moment is not increasing. Aborting interpretation.

I have a problem creating a minimal example, where the error occurs. But 
I will try to make something as minimal as possible. The error occurs, 
when the lyrics of one part covers all notes off that part, then the 
next part, and the rest of the piece is not printed. If I uncomment the 
lyrics or delete the last word, there is no problem...???
