Re: typeset lyrics

[Ole Schmidt]

I'am a bit shy to out my ignorance...

what I'am missing (maybe I overlooked it) is an overview (maybe a  
sort of tree?) of how the
all the terms:
\score
 \new Staff
 \new Voice
 \VoiceOne
 \VoiceTwo
\oneVoice
are (hieracial) related and how their encapsulation  (<<  >> and { })  
works
There is also the << {  } \\ {  } >> model for polyphony, when to use  
which construction?

Another point are the rules of  the \relative mode when you have  
polyphony/chord constructions (how to use , and ' properly)

I work partly by trial&error which can be very time-consuming.

I always use the search function of the lilypond.pdf and most of the  
times I found an example that covers what I'am after. I find this  
most convenient (to work with examples) e.g. I immediatly understood  
the example Mats mailed me so maybe it would be a good idea to  
include it to the manual...

I hope this answers your question somehow...

best
