You could try input/template/melody-lyrics.ly
It turns out that the lyrics indeed is included in the file
even though it's not found by the strings command (since the syllables
are not ended by a \000 in the MIDI format).

>strings  melody-lyrics.midi

However, if you for example use the mf2t program
(available at http://archive.cs.uu.nl/pub/MIDI/PROGRAMS/ or
http://www.hitsquad.com/smm/programs/mf2t/) you will see the
lyrics:

the same bug is there.


Can you please send the exact .ly file which doesn't work with v2.2?

It will probably work if you change from \addlyrics (which now is deprecated) to the new \lyricsto syntax for lyrics.

I.e., change this

   \addlyrics
     \context Staff = one {
       \property Staff.autoBeaming = ##f
       \melody
     }
     \context Lyrics \text


to something like:
<<
\context Staff = one {
\set autoBeaming = ##f
\context Voice=A
\melody }
\lyricsto A \context Lyrics \text



Thanks, Erik
