I hope the earlier answers have helped you get started.

Hi
I am fairly new to lilypond. I have RTFM-ed but am rather confused by
the number of ways of adding lyrics to a score. My confusion might be
caused by not understanding what \new and \context does.
Both create contexts, i.e. representations of a voice (Voice context) or
stave (Staff context) or choir stave (ChoirStaff context) or ...
With \new, you always get a new unique context that hasn't appeared
before in the score. With \context, you have the chance to explicitly
specify a name of the context. This is useful at least for two reasons:
- You can refer to a named Voice context when you use the \lyricsto
command to specify which voice a certain line of lyrics should be
attached to.
- You can refer back to a context that has already been defined earlier,
since the context is uniquely defined by its name. For example if you
say
\version "2.4.0"
\relative c'<<
\context Staff = topstave { c1 | e | }
\context Staff = bottomstave { c1 | c | }
\context Staff = topstave { g'4 a b g | c a g2 | }
>>
then both the first and third line of music will end up on
one and the same stave.
I think both these aspects are used in the SATB template.
If this isn't clear from the manual, we should try to clarify it
further.

My basic requirement is
- SATB, each one line
- piano part
It seems to me that I need to build up a template to do this
(and by building it up myself I will understand it!)
My starting point was
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.4/Documentation/user/out-www/lilypond/Vocal-ensembles.html#Vocal-ensembles
but this combines SA and TB which makes it too complex for what I want.
Can someone walk me through setting this up
Thanks
