Yes it is a great feature. I just used it tonight in transcribing a song. By
the way, I still have a problem with the setting of the lyrics, and for this
reason I attached its file.
Alright, I managed to put the lyrics of the bass above the clef in the
refrain. But I couldn't force it to go further up:
The 3rd system (measure 7) has these lyrics settings:
The four stanzasThe refrain:
(...) His might.
(...) for youTrust in the One (...)
(...) to gain.[I would like to put the words of the bass on
this line, more or less]
(...) the end.
Bass words - Trust in the One
I guess different lyrics contexts can't overlap, so what should I do? I
tried Lyrics.VerticalAxisGroup #'minimum-Y-extent, but it didn't help.
I'll be much beholden to you.

Subject: alignAboveContext problems together with \lyricsto
Hi,
I just realized that there is a problem with setting alignAboveContext
within a lyrics context if the corresponding lyrics doesn't start at the
top of the score. Example:
\version 2.6.0
\score{
\context Staff = mystave
\context Voice = melody {
\relative c' { c
{\voiceOne c'} \context Voice = splitpart {\voiceTwo c,8 e}
}
}
\context Voice = splitpart {s1 * 2} % Doesn't help!
\new Lyrics \lyricsto melody { \set alignAboveContext = #mystave
Text above }
\new Lyrics \lyricsto splitpart { \set alignAboveContext = #mystave
not above }
}
The problem is that also the \set directive seems to happen at the same
place as the
first syllable, which is too late. A workaround, of course, is to use
\with:
\version 2.6.0
\score{
\context Staff = mystave
\context Voice = melody {
\relative c' { c
{\voiceOne c'} \context Voice = splitpart {\voiceTwo c,8 e}
}
}
\context Voice = splitpart {s1 * 2} % Doesn't help!
\new Lyrics \with {alignAboveContext = #mystave } \lyricsto melody
{ Text above }
\new Lyrics \with {alignAboveContext = #mystave } \lyricsto
splitpart { also above }
}
The problem is the same in version 2.6 and 2.7.
