- Since the \global contains things that have to go into a Staff context to make sense, LilyPond created an extra stave at the top to handle them. Just include the \global within one of the staves instead, for example
- You included the lyrics within the Staff context, which doesn't make
sense. It has to come after the '}' matching '\new Staff {'.Also, I don't understand why you didn't let the \notes apply directly to all the contents of the Staff (which also gets rid of one pair of curly brackets, which confused you).
So, the beginning of the \score declaration could be changed into something like
\score {
\new ChoirStaff <<
\addlyrics
\new Staff \notes \relative c' <<
\global \property Staff.instrument = "Annette"
\key a \major \new Voice {
e4
cis e2 e4
cis'4. a8~ a4 e
cis' a2 b4
a2.
}
>>
\new Lyrics \words
\addlyrics
\new Staff \notes \relative c' {
\property Staff.instrument = "Andrew"
\key a \major
d4
cis cis2 d4
a'4. fis8~ fis4 e
a fis2 gis4
fis2.
}
\new Lyrics \wordsThe rest of the staves could follow the example of the second one (Andrew). The first one is a bit special, since I included \global in it.

Hello All!
I'm new to the list, so be gentle with me please!
Can anyone tell me why the attached .ly file won't work - it seems such a simple piece of music. It produces the output shown in the attached .png file instead of what I want - which is a system of four staves with identical words underneath each staff. As you can see there is something weird going on with the rhythm in bar 2 and the lyrics are just doing their own thing!
Also why did I have to put in the \RemoveEmptyStaffContext command in the \paper block to get get rid of a spurious extra staff that appeared at the top of the page? I wouldn't have thought so simple a piece would require this.
I'm confused because I have previously managed to get far more complex pieces to work properly!
BTW I'm using v2.0.0 of Lily from PlanetCCRMA.
Thanx in advance,
Andrew
