Hi Jean,

While this work in placing the words correctly, it is, in my case, not 
quite flawless.

If I render the attached snippet, there is no "2"-bracket above the 
second alternative.

But if you comment out the lyrics part, the "problem" has gone.

Maybe I'm doing something wrong here, but I can't find what...

Any idea?

Thanks for taking the effort!

regards, Jogchum
