New issue 3592 by address@hidden: \lyrics depracated
http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=3592

It seems to me that \lyrics is deprecated.  Can we have a deprecation  
warning for that command, together with a remark in the documentation?  On  
the other hand, there's a lot of code in the lilypond documentation which  
actually uses \lyrics...

Maybe it's even better to remove \lyrics completely?

I stumbled upon this since I've erronously used \lyrics instead of  
\lyricmode, trying to typeset lyrics over a staff line.  However, since  
\lyrics apparently always aligns text below a staff, this failed miserably,  
and it took me a quite long time to find my mistake, wondering why

  \new Lyrics \with {
    \override VerticalAxisGroup #'staff-affinity = #DOWN
  }

doesn't work as expected.
