Re: addlyrics plus named lyricvoices in 1.6.4

[Mats Bengtsson]

\addlyrics takes two arguments, the music to copy durations from
and the music to copy durations to. The first argument should be
a single line of music, otherwise it's not clearly defined what
durations to use. 

I guess you want something like:

\score {
    \notes <
        \context Staff = top <
            \global 
            \addlyrics {\context Voice = soprano \notes { \voiceOne \sopChorus 
}} 
            {\context Lyrics = sopWords \context LyricsVoice="soprano-1" 
\sopChorusWords}
            \addlyrics {\context Voice = alto \notes {\voiceTwo \altoChorus  }}
            {\context Lyrics = accompWords \context LyricsVoice = "alto-1" 
\AccompChorusWords}
        >
    >
    \paper{}
}


The pre-declaration of the contexts is only necessary if you 
want them to appear in another order, for example

        \context Lyrics = sopWords {}
        \context Staff = top {}
        \context Lyrics = accompWords {}
