Reference section A.4.1.
Trevor, your answer doesn't mention the fact that you cannot use
\lyricsto before the corresponding Voice
has been defined. However, your're right that the SATB templates show
different solutions to work around
this problem. I searched the rest of the manual and the only place I can
find this issue mentioned is in
2.1.1 Entering Lyrics, subsection "Lyrics and variables", which
describes one solution, but not the
one using alignAboveContext, which has been mentioned by the other
answers in this thread.
I know that the Vocal music chapter is being revised right now, so
perhaps it will appear soon.

Subject: Lyrics of a Voice above the Staff of the Voice
Hello together,
I'm working on a sheet where the lyrics of the Soprano are set above
its staff
because the staff is shared with the Alto which has lyrics differing
from those
of the Soprano at some positions (which I read by using \skip).
As far as I have 4 stanzas, using markups is not a usable workaround.
Recently I got to:
\override LyricText #'extra-offset = #'(0 . 20)
But this leaves the hyphens below the Staff and only moves the text
into other
page items.
So the question is:
How do I get the lyrics above the staff of the voice they are
assigned to by
\lyricsto?
Thanks in advance for any help.
Greetings
Robert Waniek
