Thanks for pointing that out, Mats. Valentin
has editing rights on vocals at the moment.
I'm sure he'll pick this up.

The contexts are normally printed in the order in which they are defined,

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
