Re: Lyrics vertically misplaced using instrument name

[Mats Bengtsson]

This isn't a bug! What happens is that contexts are
placed, vertically, in the order they are created.
In the example, the Lyrics context is created (implicitly)
using the \addlyrics command, which happens strictly
after the beginning of the piece since you first do a
\set ... command. The two Staff contexts, on the other hand,
are created at the beginning of the piece.

One solution is to set the instrumentName using the  \with
syntax:
<<
\new Staff \with {instrumentName = "blah" }{
           {  c'4 c' }
           \addlyrics { bla bla }
      }
         
\new Staff { c'8 c' c' c' }

>>

Another solution is to apply the \addlyrics command to the
full Staff (note that LilyPond does not consider a lyrics line
to belong to a Staff context, which might not coincide with
your intuition):

<<
\new Staff {
 \set Staff.instrumentName = "blah"
             c'4 c'
       }
       \addlyrics { bla bla }
         
\new Staff { c'8 c' c' c' }
