Re: lyrics disappear

[MING TSANG]

Thank you for the info.

The reason I try this approach is because I have 96 bars of voice 1 and voice 2 comes in at bars 51-70 only.  The notes on pdf seems ok except the lyrics.  I am seeking work around.

If I use new voice approach, that I need to have 50 bars rest or space before coding voice 2.

 

Blessing in+,

Ming

Don't use automatic voice creation with '\\'; it messes up the 'lyricsto', because it creates _two_ new voices.  Instead, use an explicit '\new Voice' for the second voice, so that the first voice continues the original one.

Best wishes,
