Right, I forgot about this (and I did not try my own suggested code with \lyricsto ). Remove \lyricsto and use associatedVoice instead. Now it works (this time I tested it!). %%%% Snippet % […] << { sea sea sea sea } \new Lyrics = "lyricsSecond" \with { % as suggested by XS alignBelowContext = "lyricsFirst" associatedVoice = "first" } { mi mi mi mi } >> | d d d d % […] %%%% Cheers, Xavier -- Xavier Scheuer <x.sche...@gmail.com> _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
