-In some complex vocal music, it may be desirable to place
-lyrics completely independently of notes. Music defined
-inside @code{lyricrhythm} disappears into the
-@code{Devnull} context, but the rhythms can still be used
-to place the lyrics.

-This method is recommended only if the music in the @code{Devnull}
-context does not contain melismata. Melismata are defined by the
-@code{Voice} context. Connecting lyrics to a @code{Devnull} context
-makes the voice/lyrics links to get lost, and so does the info on
-melismata. Therefore, if you link lyrics to a @code{Devnull} context,
-the implicit melismata get ignored.
