Ok, I'm looking at templates in the manual, 3.2.2, and 3.2.3. rather than reprint, you can see it here: The first one (3.2.2) makes perfect sense to me: it has \score, and within that it has a voice, and then a pianostaff in the form \context PianoStaff << \context Staff = upper \upper \context Staff = lower \lower >> That makes sense. Now, 3.2.3 says it will remove the separate vocal line. I would expect it to look something like \context PianoStaff << \context Staff = upper \upper \lyricsto upper \new Lyrics \text \context Staff = lower \lower >> \context Staff = upper { \context Voice = singer \upper } \lyricsto "singer" \new Lyrics \text What really confuses me is that the lower staff is now within its own << >>, whereas the upper staff has none of these, only { } . But not entirely! the \lyricsto section is outside of the upper staff context's { } !! So, it appears to me that the upper staff has no syntactic bound! Why doesn't the upper voice need << >> ?! This seems counter-intuitive to me. Or, if it is intuitive, can someone please explain how?
