Does it make sense? If you have two staves, and a voice were to change staves, would you expect the lyrics to leap about too? In my mind, a staff has a stable vertical position, whereas a voice doesn't. > If this is a known restriction, where is it documented? In the Internals Reference, alignAboveContext only occurs under staff-ish contexts, not voice-ish ones, §2.1.x. Cheers, David.
