Re: lyrics in polyphony

[Mats Bengtsson]

Please send a (small) example of what you tried. Also, don't forget
to tell what version of LilyPond you use, otherwise you might get an
answer that's not fully relevant to you.

Take a look at the the example for Vocal ensembles to see how to set
the lyrics to one of several lines of music in a single staff.
I hope you have read the full section on Vocal Music in the manual.
It should answer your questions.
