Hi guys,

I'm seriously impressed! Thanks a million for all your input.

David N's solution works pretty well, although I, too, am having trouble
with vertical positioning. In my attached min example, the lyrics came out
wrong.

The example also gives an idea of the sort of thing I am trying to create.
That is, short music snippets for teaching rhythm. In my actual sheet, I
also used \stopStaff and \startStaff to put several rhythms on one line.
Comments welcome.

cheers
Hendrik
