I'm trying to set a piece for SATB choir with two staves with two voices
each. I am using the \voiceOne and \voiceTwo commands to get soprano and
tenor stems up and alto and bass stems down. This works until the final two
parts of the piece in the first of which I use the \addlyrics command to
add separate lyrics to the bass voice. I first fixed this additionally
using the \stemDown and \slurDown commands inside that very variable, that
is, music expression (I have variables for each voice and part of the
song), and actually this strangely turned the stems down for the last part
as well.
I was content with that solution, although I do not understand why the
\addlyrics command should interfere with the \voiceTwo command. Anyway the
problem came up again when I suddenly added a grace note to all voices in
the beginning of the part with the extra lyrics. I tried putting the
\stemDown and \slurDown commands all over the place (both last part
variables, inside and outside the variables, in the score block inside the
bass staff), nothing helped until I removed the \addlyrics command.
I earlier also tried adding extra lyrics to one alto variable, but the
lyrics were printed below the second staff so I've abandoned that for now
(using subscript instead). I also had tried adding lyrics to the very last
bass variable but when I did so, none of the voices' last variables' music
was even printed, neither were the lyrics of course. Now that I played
around with it and removed the \addlyrics from the second last bass
variable, the one in the last variable works fine, with stems down
actually. Adding back the lyrics also to the second last variable makes, as
expected from earlier behaviour, the last ones mysteriously disappear
entirely and puts stems up. Now putting the \stemDown \slurDown commands at
the beginning of the music expression which is the second last variable
puts the grace note's stem down, the rest is still up, which is fixed by
putting these commands after the grace note as well, yet the added lyrics
of the last variable and its music still won't show. I'm not really in the
mood right now to try around the possibilities for added lyrics in the alto
voice as well.
Is this a bug or am I missing something? Anyway that behaivour does not
seem very logical. I try to simplify my example code, but eventually I came
to a point where there was a treble clef in the second staff and new treble
and bass clefs were printed after the grace note and I really don't have
time at this hour of the night to understand where that came from; I
clearly state clef types in the score block. That is why I'm leaving the
fourth and third last parts of the song in each voice, that is the simplest
example code I can produce at the moment. The parts are called SopBOne,
SopBThree, SopCBody, SopCTwo and AltBOne and so on for all vour voices.
So here goes:

Thanks for any light shed on that weird \addlyrics command.
