Re: ChoirStaff mungs lyrics when the syllables have durations - workaround

[Mats Bengtsson]

This looks like a very serious bug in my opinion. You should certainly 
be able to
specify the durations explicitly for each syllable. It's a regression 
bug compared
to early 2.10.x version. I actually did a binary search and found that 
the bug
was introduced between versions 2.10.11 and 2.10.12.

Note that the bug does not show up if you remove the upper stave.

Also, as a workaround, you can specify the associated voice for each lyrics
line:

\version "2.10.33"
\layout { ragged-right = ##t }

sopranonotes = \relative c' { e2  e4  }
sopranowords = \lyricmode   { do2 re4 }

altonotes    = \relative c' { e4  e4  e4  }
altowords    = \lyricmode   { do4 re4 me4 }

\score
{
 \context ChoirStaff
 <<
   \context Staff = soprano
   <<
     \context Voice = sop { \sopranonotes }
   >>
     \new Lyrics \with{associatedVoice = sop } \sopranowords
   \context Staff = alto
   <<
     \context Voice = alt { \altonotes }
   >>
     \new Lyrics \with{associatedVoice = alt }\altowords
 >>
}

Finally, as has already been noted, the problem can also be solved using
\lyricsto, see sections "Lyrics to multiple notes of a melisma" and
"Divisi lyrics" in the manual.
