Lyrics

[Maarten de Keijzer]

Hi,

I am trying to create a sheet for choir accompaniment, and have arranged chord names above the pianostaff with my own notes.
Now I want to add the choir lyrics to the (partly empty) bars to better be able to deal with rests.

I tried this, but Lilypond complains on not finding ‘upper’ or ‘chd’.

 

\score {

   <<

     \new ChordNames \chd

     \new Lyrics \lyricsto "upper" \lyr

     \new Staff <<

       \new Voice = "upper" \upper

     >>

     \new Staff <<

       \new Voice = "lower" \lower

       \clef bass

     >>

   >>

}

 

What would be the best method to have the lyrics related to the chords, not to ‘my music’?
