Hi,
The snippet below, with split voices in a few bars, gives a less than
optimal placement of the lyrics:
Each successive split bar lowers the lyrics somewhat. I can't find in
the docs
(https://lilypond.org/doc/v2.23/Documentation/snippets/simultaneous-notes)
how this can be avoided.
Is there a way to get the lyrics all on the same height?
Thanks in advance,
