Hi David,

Excellent.
Speaking of greater understanding… Here is a version in which I use variables —
if there really are no differences in pitches (only octaves), this approach
(which I actually recommend in every piece!) might save you some effort and
make your code far more easily maintained:
\version "2.19.48"
\language "english"
\layout {
\context {
\Lyrics
\override VerticalAxisGroup.staff-affinity = #CENTER
\override VerticalAxisGroup.nonstaff-relatedstaff-spacing.padding = #1.5
}
}
the_notes = {
g2 g a1 g2 g a1
\bar "|."
}
the_lyrics = \lyricmode {
Words just right! Words just right!
}
\new StaffGroup <<
\new Staff
\new Voice = "upper" { \clef "bass" \the_notes }
\new Lyrics \lyricsto "upper" \the_lyrics
\new Staff = "lower" { \clef "bass" \transpose c c, \the_notes }
>>
Best,
Kieren.
