Excellent point! I think I'll reformat the whole chapter 4 with this distinction (programmers vs. non-programmers) in mind.

Thanks, fixed.

- The following is a bit misleading:
      \context Staff = singer <<
        \context Voice = vocal { \melody }
        \lyricsto vocal \new Lyrics { \text }

The lyrics context is not part of the Staff context,

Really? That's a pity; it would help to keep things simple. Anyway, thanks! I didn't know that.

The correct way would be:

      \context Staff = singer <<
        \context Voice = vocal { \melody }

      \new Lyrics \lyricsto vocal { \text }

Thanks, fixed in CVS.

(I think there's a minor pedagogical point in saying \new Lyrics before
\lyricsto, since the \new Lyrics really isn't a relevant argument of the music function, and because all other contexts start with context names)

You could of course use \addlyrics instead.

I still haven't used lyrics -- what do you recommend? We should probably use the same thing here as we do in the Example templates... what should those ones be?

Cheers,
