Tyler,

That is exactly what I want. Now to figure out how to incorporate it into the existing score (because this is only for the final 4 measures and not the entire work).

Much thanks,

Guy

All,

At the end of a choral work I want soprano solo, their text above the
staff, with remaining sopranos "Ooo" below the staff. There are also
dynamics, a dimenuendo, and a note re: Solo, etc. Right now LP engraves the
following by putting the lyrics above the dynamics, etc. Can I get the
lyrics below the dynamics, etc. (that is, immediate above the staff)?
I think this is one way of doing it (assuming I understand what you
were looking for). I had to put that bit of padding in there so
that the descenders of 'mf' and 'p' didn't smash into the lyrics:

%%% code begin
\score {
   <<
     \new Dynamics \with { \override 
VerticalAxisGroup.nonstaff-nonstaff-spacing = #'((padding . 1)) } {
       \partial 4 a'4^\mf^\dim ^"Solo, Remaining voices Ooos" \bar "||"
       a'4. bf'8 c''4 a' |
       g'2 f'\p |
     }
     \new Staff = "sopranos" <<
       << \new Voice = "Solo"
          { \voiceOne
            {
              \partial 4 a'4 \bar "||"
              a'4. bf'8 c''4 a' |
              g'2 f' |
            }
          }
          \new Lyrics \with { alignAboveContext = #"sopranos" } \lyricsto 
"Solo" {
            Yet what I can I give Him,
          }
          \new Voice = "sopranoOoos"
          { \voiceTwo
            {
              \partial 4 f'4( ~ |
              f'4. g'8 a'4 f' |
              f'2 d') |
            }
          }
          \new Lyrics \lyricsto "sopranoOoos" { Ooo }
       >> \bar "|."
     >>
   >>
   \layout { }
}
%%%% code end

Cheers,
Tyler
