The solutions so far have worked well, however I can't combine the crossesOn/off with a 'note' into a chord and have to go into polyphony so far so good. However since the polyphony comes in the middle of the score it's not clear to me what method to use to attach lyrics to the lower 'voiced'

Hi Tim, There are two snippets following. The first is a bit of your power example with the lyrics spacing issue. You can use the same techniques as before but introduce another DevNull voice with one of the bottom parts which moves with the extra line and it will follow that instead. - If

Hi Reinhold, The centering here is achieved by simply putting the common text into the second stanza, which happens to be vertically centered. However, if you have four stanzas, there is no way to center common text vertically. I had that problem once with two stanzas, but have not found
