tl;dr: interrupted five-voice polyphony — how to attach lyrics, and
still get proper polyphonic engraving, in 2.18.2?
I had a call-and-response arrangement with three response parts, and
assigned lyrics to the responses like so:
<<
{
\new Voice = "response"
s1*6 |
}
{
<<
\context Voice = "resp_hi" {
\voiceOne \transpose c c' { \autoBeamOff \melRespOne }
}
\context Voice = "harmony" {
\voiceThree \autoBeamOff \harmRespOne
}
\context Voice = "response" {
\voiceTwo \autoBeamOff \melRespOne
}
>>
% ...
}
>>
\context Lyrics = "response" {
\lyricsto "response" {
\respOne
}
}
This produced nicely-stemmed notes for the responses, and allowed me to
attached lyrics across disparate polyphonic response sections.
However, I added two more responses, and voices past \VoiceFour are
unrecognized. When I use the default << \\ >> polyphony, the \context
approach no longer works. Using the built-in voice "1" (etc.) works
when there’s only one uninterrupted instance of polyphony; however, it
doesn’t carry across a break. If I try to set \context on a voice, I
get a single (chord-ish) note column, plus the warning:
Preprocessing graphical objects...
test.ly:22:3: warning: ignoring too many clashing note columns
(although the lyrics do work).
What’s the optimal approach here?
Three MWEs are attached: one with the old, working approach; the second
with default polyphony and unaligned lyrics; the last with an attempt at
Voice context, which generates an error.
Thanks,

Emperor Norton had the right idea.
