Hi,

I'm looking how to assign the lyrics two one of two voices in one staff in the simplest way with my "normal" source code:
bassVoicePart = \new Staff \with {
  midiInstrument = "oboe"
   \consists "Merge_rests_engraver"
} { \clef bass << \bass \ \bassII >> }
\addlyrics { \verseOne }
how do I integrate lyricsto correctly?
Best regards
Joei

The most common way would be

\version "2.24.0"

bass = { c'4. 8 }
bassII = { c8 4. }
verseOne = \new Lyrics \lyricmode { ah oh }


<<
  \new Staff \with {
    midiInstrument = "oboe"
     \consists "Merge_rests_engraver"
  }
  {
    \clef bass
    <<
      \new Voice = voiceI { \voiceOne \bass }
      \new Voice = voiceII { \voiceTwo \bassII }
    >>
  }
  \lyricsto voiceII { \verseOne }
>>

but you can also shorten it with \voices:

<<
  \new Staff \with {
    midiInstrument = "oboe"
     \consists "Merge_rests_engraver"
  }
  {
    \clef bass
    \voices 1,2 << \bass \\ \bassII >>
  }
  \lyricsto "2" { \verseOne }
>>

Best,
