Hi everyone, I just upgraded to 2.18.2 to use the cool new NullVoice. It seems like a slick solution to polyphonic lyric alignment. Unfortunately, I seem to be doing something wrong, because I am getting two syllables printed right on top of each other (see attached PNG). In this example, I want each syllable to arrive on a beat, which you see if you change the NullVoice to a Voice.
Thanks for your thoughts!
Andrew
\version "2.18.2"
soprano = \relative { g'4. a8 g8( f) d4 }
alto = \relative { c'8( d) e4 d b }
aligner = \relative { c'8( d) e4 g8( f) d4 }
words = \lyricmode { pea -- nut but -- ter }
\new Staff <<
\new Voice { \voiceOne \soprano }
