-Be careful when defining a variable with lyrics that creates a new
-context, for example, using the deprecated @code{\lyrics} command. See
-the next erroneous example:
-
-@example
-words = \lyrics{ %warning: this creates a new context
- one two
-}
-<<
- \new Voice = "sop" { c1 }
- \new Lyrics \lyricsto "sop" { \words }
- \new Voice = "alt" { c2 c }
- \new Lyrics \lyricsto "alt" { \words }
->>
-@end example
-
-the problem is that \lyricsto will try to connect the "sop" melody with the context
-created by "\new Lyrics".
-
-Then \lyrics in \words creates another context, and the original "\new Lyrics" one
-remains empty.
