Subject: Lyrics in polyphony with ties in second voice


Hi.

I'm hoping someone can help me figure out how to notate this.

I am creating a lead sheet that has vocal line with lyrics.  Some sections have 
just the melody, and other sections have harmonies under the melody.

In general, I have been having success using this pattern for going into and 
out of polyphony, while keeping the lyrics associated with the melody:

melody = \relative c'' {
    c1 << { \voiceOne d } { b1 } >> | \oneVoice e1 |
}




I know that this is not what you asked for, because you want the harmony stems 
to go up.

But this is the way I set it; I think it’s clearer, because it points out the 
fact that the tied notes need to be handled differently from the melody notes.

\version "2.19.80"

words = \lyricmode {
    One, two and three four
}

melody = \relative c'' {
    \time 3/4
    g2.^"Use partcombine and NullVoice" | g8 a f2 ~ | 2. | e2. \bar "|."
}

harmony =  \relative c'{
    \time 3/4
    s2. |
    <d b>2. ~ | 2.
}


combined = \partcombine \melody \harmony





\book {
    \header { title = "Use partcombine and NullVoice" }
    \score {
        <<
            \new Staff = "upper" \with {
              printPartCombineTexts = ##f
            }<<
                \new Voice = "lead" {
                    \combined
                }
                \new NullVoice = "synch" {
                  \melody
                }
            >>

               \new Lyrics \with { alignAboveContext = "staff" } {
                   \lyricsto "synch" { \words }
            }
        >>
        \layout {
        }
    }
}
