Re: [bug?] \lyricsto with lyrics above notes

[Juergen Reuter]

Ok, it finally seems to work over here; changing "hi4" to "hi8" has no 
effect (as expected).  Still, I fear that the "{ s1 }" trick of the 
example in section 3.3.1 of the manual is likely to break sooner or later 
in future versions of lily.  However, since this example is part of the 
regular manual, it should become evident quickly to bug hunters in case it 
will break. ;-)

Thanks again,
Jürgen
