Thanks Peter for your response earlier, it got me working!

For the life of me I can't figure out why the lyrics in the bass line
collide in the following snippet (below).

If I use only the bass line, it looks fine - but when combined with the
soprano line, I get strange collisions and stuff.  It looks like the bass
lyrics are trying to align with the soprano lyrics, and I don't know why.

Any pointers?

soprano = \relative c' {

bass = \relative c' {

\time 4/4 f f8~ f4 f
}

soplyrics = \lyrics {

baslyrics = \lyrics {
