Re: Lyrics extender problem

[Mats Bengtsson]

This must be an obscure bug, unless I am missing something obvious. An 
even shorter illustration of the bug is:

\version "2.8.0"

sopMusic = \relative c'' {
 c4 c c8( b) c4
}
sopWords = \lyricmode {
 hi hi hi __ hi
}
    \score { <<
   \new Lyrics = sopI { s1 }
   \new Staff = women {
     \new Voice =
     "sopranos"  \sopMusic    }
   \new Lyrics =  sopII { s1 }
     \context Lyrics = sopI \lyricsto sopranos \sopWords
   \context Lyrics = sopII \lyricsto sopranos \sopWords
 >>
}


Luckily, there is a workaround, namely to use the alignAboveContext
property that so far only is documented in the example called
"alignment-order.ly" in the Regression Tests document. Then you don't 
have to define the Lyrics contexts before you use them. Instead you can 
do:


\version "2.8.0"

sopMusic = \relative c'' {
 c4 c c8( b) c4
}
sopWords = \lyricmode {
 hi hi hi __ hi
}
    \score { <<
   \new Staff = women {
     \new Voice =
     "sopranos"  \sopMusic    }
     \context Lyrics = sopI {\set alignAboveContext = "women" 
\lyricsto sopranos \sopWords }
   \context Lyrics = sopII \lyricsto sopranos \sopWords
 >>
}


I have no idea why this works but the other version doesn't work, though.
