Hi Kieren,
thanks for your replies. Your first solution was sort of working for
me. Seems like a good idea to develop a better solution.
One problem I immediately ran into was syncopes at measure boundaries.
Assume that the information given to Lilypond is for example that a
syllable starts at

Hi Carl (et al.),

I’m glad!
Below, I’ve done a little custom-context-building, in the hopes we might
crowd-source a real solution to this problem (which crops up on the list fairly
often). I’ve added a way (using tags) to break lyrics at

Oops -- that's my mistake. I haven't been using Chordii, I've been using the
gchords package in LaTeX, which is similar.

Hi,
I have a working .ly-file that displays a staff with notes, lyrics and
chordnames, all correctly counted/aligned.
I wonder if there is any command to generate a sheet with only chords
and lyrics, no staves.
Hi Annette,
Here’s a simpler version that seems to work.
Kieren.

theMelody = {

Here’s one attempt. You should be able to take it from here.
Hope this helps!

Hi Annette,
A minimal working example would be good (MWE).
But can't you simply hide the staff?
See NR for 2.19.82 Section 1.6.2, subsection Hiding Staves. [Works in
earlier lilypond versions as well.]
"Staff lines can be hidden by removing the Staff_symbol_engraver from the
Staff context. As
