Ah, I see what you're saying now. In which case, my guess (again, from
observations and not from any knowledge of the inner workings of LP)
is that you relied upon LP instantiating a Voice context outside the
<< >>, whereas it chose inside (attached).

Why did its behaviour change? I would assume it's because if it chose
outside, then it would snooker its new-found ability to set lyrics to
multiple voices at the same time (my Bruckner snippet).

So I don't think it's a bug or a regression, but a side effect of a
new feature, documented at the first bullet point on page 11 of
2.19.83 changes. I suppose it's a case of "Beware all ye that rely
on implied instantiations!"

Cheers,
David.
