Hi Mark:
I've discovered a number of threads on this topic (how lyrics don't
work when you use such as <<{a' b'} \\ { c' d'}>>
I'm not sure what you mean by "lyrics don't work" -- have you tried
<< { a' b' } \new Voice { c' d' } >>
instead of
<< { a' b' } \\ { c' d' } >>
That works perfectly for me in every situation I've run into.
In other words, in what circumstance would you *not* want to
specifically instantiate the extra Voice context(s)?
Well, the situation is the one I mentioned in my other thread you just replied
to (when dealing with changes in the numbers of staffs in certain ways).
By saying the lyrics don't work, I mean the lyrics skip the 'polyphonic' notes.
This is a known issue, though. I didn't mean to pose a problem so much as a
work-around for it.
Here are links to some threads about the issue (for a better idea of what I
mean):

etc. (just look up lyrics pholyphony in a search)
