Lyric placement and tempo woesYou've got:

\relative c''
\tempo "Allegretto con moto" 
{ 

So the music that immediately follows the \relative is your \tempo marking, so 
it is only that that the \relative applies to.  If you wrote

\tempo "Allegretto con moto" 
\relative c''
{ 
   music
}

The \relative would apply to everything in the { } block

  More newbie problems:

  1) I'm trying to arrange a part song with lyrics for each stave. The snippet 
below puts the lyrics at the bottom of all the staves - but I seem to be 
copying the manual. See Warlock2OK attached.

  2) If I add a tempo indication (delete the "%") the pitch changes (see 
Warlock2WRONG attached) - this is the first occasion I've heard that adding a 
tempo mark changes a mezzo-soprano into a baritone - she won't be happy!

  Any help welcome.
   
  Regards,

  Peter
