No. Again, this is explained in the NR, but here's a small example of how this
can be done:
\new Staff = "Song"
<<
\new Voice = "xLyricsStaff" {
\voiceOne c''4 c''4 c''4 c''4 | % 1
s1*4/4 | % 2
b'4 b'4 b'4 b'4 | % 3
s1*4/4
}
\new Lyrics \with { alignAboveContext = Song } \lyricsto "xLyricsStaff" {
Voice one sings now And more voice one }
\new Voice = "xLyricsStaff-1" {
s1*4/4 | % 1
f'4 f'4 f'4 f'4 | % 2
s1*4/4 | % 3
g'4 g'4 g'4 g'4
}
\new Lyrics \lyricsto "xLyricsStaff-1" { Voice two sings now And more voice
two }
>>

Hi Phil, Michael, List,
I like Phil's suggestion, as it also separates the voices for later, should
my client get wise that this is, in all honesty, bad notation that he's asking
for.
I'll give it a shot and see what I can do. Will that automatically place the
lyrics on different sides of the staff?
Cheers,
A

Why not just use two voices on the single staff, with separate lyrics to
each voice, and spacer rests where the voice isn't singing?

Hi List,
I'm working on a project where the composer wants both singing voices on
the same staff (it's a call-and-response thing), but such that whenever "voice
1" is singing, stems and lyrics are down, and whenever "voice 2" is singing,
they're up.
I can switch stem direction with \stemUp and \stemDown, and I can use
\set Staff.instrumentName to change the name as well. But is there some command
to change the lyrics' vertical placement so-to-speak on the fly? With a single
voice? Usince \set Lyrics.alignAboveContext = "staff" doesn't seem to work.
Or is there some smarter way to do this, maybe using partcombine or
something?
Thanks for the help!
A
