Hello Graham,

Ah. That's by far simpler the my first stab. 

But: why did v1.4.12 choose to put the fermata on the bass part correctly
under the note but v1.6.5 choose (wrongy) to put the fermata above the
note into the realm of the tenor?

I told lilypond that the soprano is \VoiceOne, alto \VoiceTwo, tenor
\VoiceOne and bass \VoiceTwo and thought therefore it should (as v1.4.12
did it) place the fermata on the right side of the Staffs.

Was there a change between v1.4.12 and v1.6.5 in regard to the way it is
considered where to place things like fermata?
