Re: How to apply lirycs to sopran voice?

[Rob Vlasaty]

Here's how I like to set up my lyrics, but I'm sure there are many ways to do 
it.  Reading the manual on \lyricsto, you'll see that it alligns each syllable 
with the appropriate voice.  This seems to be a pretty common question.  Check 
out some other posts:
