Hi there,

I need some standalone rhythmically correct lyrics that I place around
scores. Devnull seems perfect since it does not create a Staff. Yet,
ties and slurs are not taken into account when placing otherwise
correct lyrics. Why? Take the following MnWE.

music = { c'4(~ 2) d'4 }

words = \lyricmode { a b c }

<<
  \new Staff \new Voice = "1" \music
  \new Lyrics \lyricsto "1" \words
  \new Devnull = "2" \music
  \new Lyrics \lyricsto "2" \words

Use NullVoice instead of Devnull.

HTH,
