Most styles of vocal music use written text as lyrics. An introduction
to this notation is to be found in @rlearning{Setting simple songs}.
for lyrics of for other text elements (character's names, etc.).
This syntax is described in @ref{Text markup introduction}.

@q{Ambitus} may be added at the beginning of vocal staves, as explained
in @ref{Ambitus}.

-@noindent
-to a melody. Here is an example,
-
-@lilypond[ragged-right,verbatim,fragment,quote]
-\time 3/4
-\relative c' { c2 e4 g2. }
-\addlyrics { play the game }
-@end lilypond
-
-More stanzas can be added by adding more
-@code{\addlyrics} sections

-\addlyrics { play the game }

@unnumberedsubsubsec Working with lyrics and variables
The second stanza is not properly aligned because the durations
were not specified. A solution for that would be to use @code{\lyricsto}.
+@cindex \addlyrics
+
The @code{\addlyrics} command is actually just a convenient way
to write a more complicated LilyPond structure that sets up the
lyrics.
\new Lyrics \lyricsto "blah" @{ LYRICS @}
