Hi,
Here comes two versions of the SATB example as a starter. In the first
version, all the lyric lines are placed using
alignAboveContext/alignBelowContext. In the second one, I only
use this feature where it is necessary, i.e. when the lyrics is above
the corresponding stave.
Apart from placing lyrics, another standard situation where this
feature is extremely useful is for ossia sections.

Sorry, it seems that you (or somebody else) will need to recreate the
examples. If you create an example for SATB, please also write
something for the general case (ie going in a
not-specifically-vocal-music location).
Can you (or someone) suggest a use for this in a non-vocal situation?
I'd rather do something at least marginally useful, but I can't think
of a time it'd be used.
Since I don't really understand what we're talking about, no. :)
However, by "write something", I don't necessarily mean an example.
Just some text we can toss somewhere in section 9.2 or 9.3 or chapter
11 or wherever.
In other words, there should be no information that can only be found
in the templates.
Cheers,
- Graham
