Fellow Lilypond Users:
I'm writing a vocal duet on a ChoirStaff with lyrics between two staves.
When one voice rests, I'm trying to use associatedVoice to make the
lyrics follow the other voice. I would expect the lyrics to remain
between the staves, but the lyrics disappear completely.
Here is the tiniest example I can write:
========
\version "2.16.0" % also tried 2.17.6
\new ChoirStaff <<
\new Staff \new Voice = "SopranoVoice" \relative c' { c4 d e f r1 }
\new Lyrics \lyricsto "SopranoVoice" {
So -- pran -- os rule.
\set associatedVoice = #"AltoVoice"
Al -- tos are cool.
}
\new Staff \new Voice = "AltoVoice" \relative c' { r1 f4 e d c }
>>
========
It looks like this:

I would like the Alto's lyrics above her notes.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks for any help you can offer.
