Re: Trying to get the hang of "Polyphony with Shared Lyrics" section of the manual.

Hi Lukas,

First, I'm using LilyPond v. 2.20.0. (I often seem to end up at 2.18
and 2.21 when searching for documentation -- though explicitly
changing the URL to 2.20 works.)

Second, I guess I'm not sure what you mean by a compatible example: I
thought that's what I provided. But the URL below is what I'm trying
to convert, if that's what you mean.

Finally, I don't even know how to word the question. In the bit that I
posted, the second full measure should be

"days____ of old, Ere her" with "days" taking up everything except the
last five notes,

as shown on the bottom right of:

I see that the manual page I was looking at says I cannot do things
the way previous pages taught me to do things with \addlyrics.

Is that enough info to let you know where I'm struggling?
