Re: alignAboveContext shifts lyrics by one note

[James Bailey]

It appears that the alignAboveContext placement is important here.

If you do: \new Lyrics \with {alignAboveContext = staff1} or \new  
Lyrics \lyricsto voice1 \lyricmode { \set alignAboveContext = staff1  
…} then the problem is not apparent.
