 2.3.3 Lyrics to multiple staves
 -------------------------------
 
 The simple approach using ‘\addlyrics’ can be used for placing lyrics
 under more than one staff.  Here is an example from Handel’s Judas
 Maccabæus:
 
      <<
        \relative c'' {
          \key f \major
          \time 6/8
          \partial 8
          c8 | c8([ bes]) a a([ g]) f | f'4. b, | c4.~ c4
        }
        \addlyrics {
          Let | flee -- cy flocks the | hills a -- | dorn, __
        }
        \relative c' {
          \key f \major
          \time 6/8
          \partial 8
          r8 | r4. r4 c8 | a'8([ g]) f f([ e]) d | e8([ d]) c bes'4
        }
        \addlyrics {
          Let | flee -- cy flocks the | hills a -- dorn,
        }
      >>
      [image src="" alt="[image of music]" text="image of music"]
 
    Scores any more complex than this simple example are better produced
 by separating out the score structure from the notes and lyrics with
 variables.  These are discussed in Organizing pieces with
 variables.
