[Frank . Weichert]

Many thanks.

This will affekt all lyrics , all stanzas. But I need this only for the 
harp-symbols, not
for stanzas.

With your help I could find a more better solution.

s

MuHaOben = \lyricmode {
    \set ignoreMelismata = ##t        %% ignors slurs and other  
    \blasenI \blasenII                %% harp-symbols
    \unset ignoreMelismata            %% back to normal
}
MuHaUnten = \lyricmode {
    \set ignoreMelismata = ##t
    \blasenII \blasenIII
    \unset ignoreMelismata
}
StropheI = \lyricmode {
        \set stanza = "1."
        Lyric Text                  %% this text is shown in the normal way
}

Now it looks fine.

Regards, Frank
