Using Voice instead of Staff for lyrics

[Greg Swinford]

Could I recommend that there be a warning to the user if a file uses lyrics
(using the associatedVoice method) with a Staff rather than a Voice. I've
just spent a frustrating two hours trying to figure out why the lyrics of
one voice were being affected by the notes of the voice above, before I
realised that each one was a Staff rather than a Voice. The problem was
fixed immediately when I changed them to Voice.

An example of the problem is below:

Many thanks,
Greg.

\version "2.10.10"

toppart = \relative c'
{
        \time 3/2
        f2. d4 e4 f4 g2. a4
}

melody = \relative c'
{
        \time 3/2
        a1 r2 r f'
}

words = \lyricmode
{
        \set associatedVoice = "melody"
        la2*4 la2
}

\score
{
        \new ChoirStaff
        <<
                \new Staff = "toppart" \toppart
                \new Staff = "melody" \melody
                \new Lyrics = "words" \words
        >>
        \layout { }
}
