-Lyrics are printed by interpreting them in the context called

+Lyrics are interpreted in @code{\lyricmode} and printed in a
+@code{Lyrics} context, see @ref{Contexts explained}.
@example
\new Lyrics \lyricmode @{ @dots{} @}
@end example
+Two variants of @code{\lyricmode} additionally set an associated
+context used to synchronise the lyric syllables to music. The more
+convenient @code{\addlyrics} immediately follows the musical content
+of the Voice context with which it should be synchronised, implicitly
+creating a Lyrics context of its own. The more versatile
+@code{\lyricsto} requires both specifying the associated Voice context
+by name and explicitly creating a containing Lyrics context. For
+details see @ref{Automatic syllable durations}.

Lyrics can be aligned with melodies in two main ways:

% uses previous explicit duration of 2;
@code{Voice} context is specified first, followed by the
@code{Lyrics} context. The lyrics themselves follow the
@code{\lyricsto} command. The @code{\lyricsto} command
-invokes lyric mode automatically, so the @code{\lyricmode} keyword
-may be omitted. By default, the lyrics are placed underneath the
-notes. For other placements, see @ref{Placing lyrics vertically}.
