quoteDuring with lyrics

[Kieren MacMillan]

Hello all,

I’m trying to make my content code as efficient as possible (e.g., using 
variables, quotes, etc.).

In the choral piece I'm currently engraving, there is a lot of choral unison, 
so I'm using quoteDuring to "copy" notes from the soprano line to the others. 
Unfortunately that doesn't seem to work with lyrics — or at least it works 
unpredictably: some quotes seem to quote lyrics, but then lyric quotes later in 
the piece (i.e., after intervening sections which are independent) seem to fail.

Before I spend the time to try to put together a MWE, is there some reason to 
believe quoteDuring shouldn't work on lyrics? Or, better put, is there any 
reason to believe it *should* (as I obviously did)? I found 
<http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-user/2012-11/msg00280.html> from 
2012, but figured there might have been changes in the meanwhile that make the 
question fresh again.

Thanks for any insights.
Kieren.
