Re: simple scenario: 2 staves, 2 lyrics

[Mats Bengtsson]

I haven't tried to process your example, but noticed that
the \melody begins with half a bar whereas the \ndvoice
begins with a full bar. I don't know how you expect LilyPond
to combine those two?

In order to avoid this kind of problems, I always use bar checks,
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.2/Documentation/user/out-www/lilypond/Bar-check.html
in my .ly files.
