Re: Lyrics in polyphony with ties in second voice

[Knute Snortum]

I'm not sure why you'd want that, but oh well...

%%% Start

\version "2.19.83"

words = \lyricmode {
  One, two and three four
}

melody = \relative c'' {
  \time 3/4
  g2. |
  g8 a f2 ~ |
  2. |
  e2.
  \bar "|."
}

harmony = \relative c' {
  \time 3/4
  \voiceOne
  s2. |
  <d b>2. _~ |
  2. |
  s2.
  \bar "|."
}

\score {
  <<
    \new Staff = "upper" {
      <<
        \new Voice = "lead" {
          \melody
        }
        \new Voice = "harmony" {
          \harmony
        }
      >>
    }
    \new Lyrics \with { alignAboveContext = "staff" } {
      \lyricsto "lead" { \words }
    }
  >>
  \layout {
  }
}

%%% End

At some magnifications, the stems don't seem exactly aligned.  Maybe someone else can fix that.

Thanks for the help.

This approach puts the melody and harmony voices into different columns, with different stems.

Is there any way to get them to become realigned, and share stems?
