Re: Little problem with lilypond (Modified by Maurits Lamers)

[Ruud van Silfhout]

Hello Maurits,

I recognized the problem and I knew it had to do with the way you define
your staffs and your lyrics. So, I rearranged it a little bit and that
works.
The way I read the documentation, the lyrics should be
created outside the staff context. and you defined, as far as I could see
it,
a Voice context and a lyrics context in a Voice; I'am amazed it worked
anyway in the original situation

Have fun!
