Thanks. I remember seeing that in the choral template, but I never
understood that contexts "die" after they're no longer in use. That

Can I request to the doc team that this be made a bit more

the documentation section on contexts?
Yes and no. If you say "could you make this a bit more clear",
then we're going to get pissed off. If you say "I think the docs
would be more clear if you added a paragraph saying `blah blah
foo' and deleted the sentence that says `to blah blah, you should
bar'", then we'll love you forever.
Okay, then how about what Mats said, since I don't understand it well
enough to explain it any better.
"You may have to make sure that the same context survives.
If you do, say,
\new Staff { \new Voice = AAA {c d e f } \new Voice = BBB {g a b c }
\context Voice = AAA { c1 }
}
the two "AAA" Voices will not be the same context, since the
first one dies after the f. Therefore, any lyrics associated with
the first measure will not continue to be associated with the
third measure."
