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
>>
or something like that. Instead, you see, in part,
\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!
I will modify the template to use {...} in both staves. Since the bass
clef should
appear before the music, it's certainly more intuitive to use a sequence
{\clef bass \lower } instead of two parallel "actions" << \clef bass
\lower >>.
Both provide the same result, though.
Note also that a Staff context can only contain notes, not lyrics, even
though
this seems to contradict some peoples intuition of what a staff/stave
constitutes.

This seems counter-intuitive to me. Or, if it is intuitive, can someone please explain how?Thanks,Markian Early to bed and early to rise, makes a man stupid and blind in the eyes. --Mazer Rackham ___
