Structure and chords

[Erik Ronström]

Hi!

I'm typesetting a song, and I can't get it right with the repeats,
lyrics and chords. The attached example shows one of the problems: the
melody splits into two staves. If I enable the line \set
Staff.instrument = "Yrsa  " the problem disappears (though I can't
figure out why) but instead the chords are printed below the staff.

I've also had problems with alternate endings, since they tend to print
"on top" of each other, as a "chord", instead of after each other. I've
only used Lilypond for very trivial instrumental tunes before, so I
guess I'm not too good at structuring things up...

Any tips?

Erik
