Magic /Mats! I hadn't noticed that paragraph. Changing the order of
context declaration makes things much better. And ly/engraver-init.ly
is certainly interesting and answers my second question.

Nevertheless, I still have a problem. Nothing to do with
\RemoveEmptyStaffContext though. When I use my new 'MainVoice' in
parallel with another voice, and attach some lyrics to it, I lose the
first syllable of the lyrics. If I use a standard Voice, then lyric
alignment works fine. If I comment out the parallel Voice, alignment
works correctly too.

Does anyone on the list have the reference to the correct section in
the documentation (I didn't find anything, not that that means
anything) or any other ideas? Thanks in advance.
