David,
Thank
you for the link. It is good to know that "new Voice" can
be use instead of "\new Staff".
Voice and Staff are different things. If you write \new Voice and
don’t explicitly create a Staff context, it will be created
automatically. Thus,
<<
\new Voice = "melody" {
a1 a4. a8 a2
}
\new Lyrics \lyricsto "melody" {
These are the words
}
>>
is the same as
<<
\new Staff {
\new Voice = "melody" {
a1 a4. a8 a2
}
}
\new Lyrics \lyricsto "melody" {
These are the words
}
>>

The Learning Manual provides a very useful introduction into such
fundamental concepts used in LilyPond and it will help you a lot in
understanding how LilyPond works.
