Re: Lyric extender over staff

[Eduardo Vieira]

There is a work around for that:

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.
