Re: Just chords and lyrics.

[Mats Bengtsson]

In this example, I don't see any point of using the DevNull trick to 
align the lyrics. It's just as easy to explicitly insert the durations
directly in the lyrics, something like:

\version "2.11.64"

myChords = \chordmode {
 c1 g f c
}

myLyrics = \lyricmode {
 Hi2 there4 let's |
 have fun with this |
 Here we have fun |
 don't2 we
}

<<
 \new ChordNames {
   \myChords
 }
 \new Lyrics {
   \myLyrics
 }
