Re: soprano line with splitting voices and different lyrics

[Mats Bengtsson]

I spotted a few details:

- The line \context Lyrics = sopranoOne \lyricsto sopranoOne \new 
Lyrics \sopOneWords
 first creates a Lyrics context named "sopranoOne" but then  it 
immediately creates an anonymous Lyrics context which hosts
 the actual words, so the one named "sopranoOne" is never used.
 What you want is
\context Lyrics = sopranoOne \lyricsto sopranoOne \sopOneWords

- You want the two voices to appear in the same staff, right?
 Then you have to enclose them in double brackets to tell  LilyPond 
that the two should happen in parallel:
\context Staff = soprano <<
 \context Voice = sopranoOne { \voiceOne \sopOneMusic }
 \context Voice = sopranoTwo { ... }
