Re: 2nd Verse lyrics drop below all staves, alignBelowContext not working

[Tyler Mitchell]

Another thing came to mind: I usually do multiple verses like this
a bit differently, using \skip in the lyrics. The equivalent of my
previous example using that method would be:

\version "2.18.2"

\score {
  <<
    \new Staff <<
      \new Voice = "soprano" \relative c' {
        e4 d c d e e e r
      }
      \new Lyrics \lyricsto "soprano" {
        Ma -- ry had a lit -- tle lamb
      }
      \new Lyrics \lyricsto "soprano" {
        \repeat unfold 4 { \skip 1 }
        laz -- er bat,
      }
    >>
    \new Staff <<
      \new Voice = "bass" \relative c {
        \clef bass
        c4 c g' g a a g r
      }
    >>
  >>
}


(Actually you can see by the vertical spacing it's not exactly the
same, though arguably this way produces a better looking result.)

It's a bit more "fiddly" in that you have to count the number of
skipped beats, but it is perhaps easier to understand.
