I'm guessing that it's probably something along the lines of removing the Note_performer from the MIDI output, but I tried that and it doesn't seem to work. It's not clear how you removed the Note_performer; have you tried: \midi { \context { \ChordNameVoice \remove

As I'm brand spanking new I'm probably going to ask a lot of dumb questions. If so, just tell me. The point is building a SATB with organ score. Everything looks fine until I activate/add the organ part. After that the score is rubbish. Would a basic explanation of what I've done suffice?

My guess is that the problem is that you have considered the lyrics lines as part of the staves, whereas a Staff in LilyPond terminology only contains the music voices, not the lyrics. Use the template called SATB vocal score and automatic piano reduction, included in the Learning Manual, as
