You can read my Postponed emails!?

"But sometimes I find the examples a little confusing. For example,
Learning 2.19.36 A3.3.3 on p161 shows how to put lyrics into a piano
staff. But why does it add \consists "Bar_engraver" to the Lyrics
context? I can't see any difference in the score when I remove
this line."

So it's documented but not explained. Here's my example where it
appears to make no difference. Do you have an example where it does?

Cheers,
David.
