Re: Cannot get the lyrics in polyphony

[Eduardo Vieira]

Hello Riccardo,
That is a common stumbling for lilypond users. In your case you have to
avoid the construct << \\ >> and explicitly create a voice context. See
"Explicitly Instantiating Voices" in the manual. Anyway, this should make
you score work:
nogood = \relative do'' {
    << \new Voice = nogood { \voiceTwo do2 re8 mi8  fa8 sol8 }
       { \voiceOne   mi2 fa8 sol8 la8 si8  } >> \oneVoice |
    << \context Voice = nogood { \voiceTwo do1 } { \voiceOne sol1} >>
\oneVoice
}
