Re: Variable Pecking Order

[Joshua Stutter]

Joe,

The string specified immediately following \lyricsto is the name of the 
voice that the lyrics should follow. In your case the name of the voice 
is "allVoxMelody". If you wish to also name your lyrics you should use 
\new Lyrics = "voxLyric" \lyricsto "allVoxMelody"

Joshua.
