alignAboveContext problems together with \lyricsto

[Mats Bengtsson]

Hi,

I just realized that there is a problem with setting alignAboveContext
within a lyrics context if the corresponding lyrics doesn't start at the
top of the score. Example:

\version "2.6.0"
\score{
<<
 \context Staff = mystave <<
   \context Voice = "melody" {
      \relative c' { c
        << {\voiceOne c'} \context Voice = splitpart {\voiceTwo c,8 e} >>
       }
    }
    \context Voice = splitpart {s1 * 2} % Doesn't help!
 >>
\new Lyrics \lyricsto "melody" { \set alignAboveContext = #"mystave"  
Text above  }
\new Lyrics \lyricsto "splitpart" { \set alignAboveContext = #"mystave" 
not above }
>>
}

The problem is that also the \set directive seems to happen at the same 
place as the
first syllable, which is too late. A workaround, of course, is to use \with:

\version "2.6.0"
\score{
<<
 \context Staff = mystave <<
   \context Voice = "melody" {
      \relative c' { c
        << {\voiceOne c'} \context Voice = splitpart {\voiceTwo c,8 e} >>
       }
    }
    \context Voice = splitpart {s1 * 2} % Doesn't help!
 >>
\new Lyrics \with {alignAboveContext = #"mystave" } \lyricsto "melody" 
{  Text above  }
\new Lyrics \with {alignAboveContext = #"mystave" } \lyricsto 
"splitpart" { also above }
>>
}


The problem is the same in version 2.6 and 2.7.
